Flocculation of brewing yeast.Peer-reviewed article

A. KOCKOVÁ-KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ

The article deals with a simple, laboratory method which has been developed for determining the speed of yeast sedimentation. With bottom brewing yeast the sedimentation rate is one of the factors important for taxonomy studies being at the same time useful at selecting strains for breweries. The reliability of the presented method has been verified on typical strains of Sacch. cerevisiae , on strains failing to agglutinate after addition of specific serum used for Sacch. carlsbergensis, and finallz on some synonymus and comparison strains.
