ABSTRACT
With flow cytometric cell cycle analysis, fermentation processes become transparent. This implies that we can control the process, by determining growth phases of the yeast population at specific times during the fermentation process, and that the process can be optimised and regulated directly.

Key words:
Cell cycle analysis, flow cytometry, yeast.
