Abstract
The induction of flocculation of Pediococcus damnosus by a proteineous factor, purified from the yeast culture supernatant, was strongly dep endent on the yeast strain used. The measurement of flocculation induc ing activity can be used to examine the affinity of yeast strains towa rd eventual bacterial contaminants or to evaluate the stability of coc ultures in mixed culture fermentations.
