Asexual yeast flocculation was studied using strong flocculents of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The inhibitory effect of cations on flocculation is considered to be caused by competition between those cations and Ca2+ at the binding site of the Ca2+-requiring protein that is involved in flocculation. Inhibition of flocculation by various cations occurred in the following order: La3+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Al3+, and Na+. Cations such as Mg2+, Co2+, and K+ promoted flocculation. This promoting effect may be based on the reduction of electrostatic repulsive force between cells caused by binding of these cations anionic groups present on the cell surface. In flocculation induced by these cations, trace amounts of Ca2+ excreted on the cell surface may activate the corresponding protein. The ratio of Sr2+/Ca2+ below which cells flocculated varied among strains: for strains having the FLO5 gene, it was 400 to 500; for strains having the FLO1 gene, about 150; and for two alcohol yeast strains, 40 to 50. This suggests that there are several different types of cell surface proteins involved in flocculation in different yeast strains. Key words: yeast, flocculation, protein, cation, calcium.

Yeast flocculation is regulated by two parameters: the free-calcium activity and the "calcium threshold" or the quantity of calcium at which cells flocculate in a turbidimetric test. The study of the influence of different factors such as calcium concentration, pH, and chelating agents on flocculation has led us to put forward the following hypothesis. Flocculation occurs when the calcium threshold becomes equal to free-calcium activity, i.e., when the medium contains the exact quantity of calcium necessary for flocculation to occur. This hypothesis has been confirmed under standard laboratory culture conditions and in simulated industrial fermentations. Key words: flocculation, yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, calcium induction.
