| Abstract: | Summary Cell walls from aKluyveromyces marxianus either non flocculent or flocculent strain were isolated and analysed for protein, carbohydrates and phosphate content. Alkaline extract of proteins were analysed by SDS-PAGE. The results revealed a higher protein content in the cell walls from the flocculent strain. Electrophoresis of the cell wall proteins of the flocculent strain showed an extra peptide with an apparent molecular weight of 37 KDa which is absent fom non-flocculent cells. The involvement of this protein in cell adhesion during flocculation is discussed. |
