Posttranscriptional Regulation of Flocculation in Fission Yeast

絮凝是酵母的一种固有属性，它涉及单个细胞聚集成团块，称为絮凝体。絮凝剂的表型在酵母工业中是非常重要的，因为它允许一种有效和经济的方法从生物技术产品中去除细胞。参与絮凝的相关细胞表面蛋白也参与了侵袭性生长和生物膜的形成，这有助于致病酵母的毒力和抗真菌耐药性。因此，酵母絮凝在这些地区的重大影响突出了充分了解这一过程是如何调节的重要性。

Flocculation is an inherent property of yeasts that involves the aggregation of individual cells into clumps called flocs. The flocculent phenotype is very important in the yeast industry as it allows for an efficient and cost-effective method of cell removal from the biotechnological product. Related cell surface proteins to those involved in flocculation are also implicated in invasive growth and biofilm formation which contribute to the virulence and antifungal resistance of pathogenic yeasts. Therefore, the significant impact of yeast flocculation in these areas highlights the importance of fully comprehending how this process is regulated.
