The killer toxin (KT 28), a glycoprotein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 28, was almost completely adsorbed by bentonite, when applied at a concentration of 1 g per liter. No significant differences were found between several types of bentonite. Killer toxin KT 28 is similarly adsorbed by intact yeast cells or by a commercial preparation of yeast cell walls that has been recommended to prevent stuck fermentations. An investigation of the cell wall fractions revealed that the toxin KT 28 was mainly adsorbed by mannan, that removed the toxin completely. The alkali-soluble and the alkali-insoluble β-1,3- and β-1,6-D-glucans lowered the toxin concentration to one tenth of the original amount. The killer toxin of the type K1 of S. cerevisiae was adsorbed much better by glucans than by mannan.
