GENE ENCODING PROTEIN RESPONSIBLE FOR FLOCCULATION PROPERTY OF YEAST AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene encoding a protein responsible for flocculation property of yeast and use thereof, in particular, a brewery yeast with appropriate flocculation property for producing desired alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages produced with said yeast, and a method for producing said beverages. More particularly, the present invention relates to a yeast to which suitable flocculation property for brewing desired alcoholic beverages was imparted by controlling expression level of a gene encoding a protein responsible for flocculation property of brewery yeast, especially a gene specific to a lager brewing yeast, to alcoholic beverages produced with said yeast and to a method for producing said beverages.
