A novel chimaeric flocculation protein enhances flocculation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Yeast flocculation is the reversible formation of multicellular complexes mediated by lectin-like cell wall proteins binding to neighbouring cells. Strong flocculation can improve the inhibitor tolerance and fermentation performance of yeast cells in ...

Factors governing microalgae harvesting efficiency by flocculation using cationic polymers. [PDF]
This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms governing the harvesting efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris by flocculation using a cationic polymer. Flocculation efficiency increased as microalgae culture matured (i.e. 35-45, 75, and > 97% efficiency at early,

Harvesting of microalgae by bio-flocculation [PDF]
The high-energy input for harvesting biomass makes current commercial microalgal biodiesel production economically unfeasible. A novel harvesting method is presented as a cost and energy efficient alternative: the bio-flocculation by using one ...

Analysis of Flocculation Activity of Microparticle Solution of Salty Protein from Whey of Oviparous Animals [PDF]
Because the traditional method does not consider the release rate of salty whey protein particles after adding flocculants, the error in the peak test of the flocculation activity of the ovarian animal whey protein particle solution is relatively high ...

Deciphering the transcriptional-regulatory network of flocculation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the transcriptional-regulatory network that governs flocculation remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically screened an array of transcription factor deletion and overexpression strains for ...
