Fig. 2.1 Schematic view of the NewFlo yeast phenotype under different situations of beer
fermentation, where a flocculation is established because free sugars (e.g., glucose) have been
exhausted, calcium ions are present and associated with the N-terminals of flocculins, and
mannan residues in cell wall are phosphorylated; b flocculation cannot occur because there
are neither calcium ions nor phosphorylated mannans; and c flocculation is prone to occur, but
the sugar-binding domains of flocculins are occupied with free sugars of the unfinished beer
fermentation
