During cultivation of a flocculent yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1001, two cell fractions, flocs and free cells, appeared in the medium. Free cells contained cells with a normal ability to flocculate, less flocculent cells and not‐flocculent cells. When the non‐flocculent cell fraction from the postexponential phase of growth was collected and used as an inoculum, the culture showed synchronous growth. The floc forming ability of the yeast cells from this culture increased gradually with the number of divisions.
