I want to centrifuge yogurt in order to pellet bacteria and yeast cells. But of course all the fat pellets as well. I tried a mixture of EDTA and TE buffer as used in a journal article I found, but the fat solids do not collect on the top as indicated in the paper.

Could tri-sodium citrate be used to keep the solids from pelleting, and if so, what ratio would I use? Or is there another method that would allow separation of the solids without discarding the cells?
