Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

Cell suspension culture of poppy was permeabilized by Tween 80 and immobilized by glutaraldehyde. Β-Galactosidase showed optimum pH 4.8 and temperature of 50 ‡C. The enzyme hydrolysis was linear during 3 h reaching 68 % conversion. The cells characterized by high Β-galactosidase activity and stability in long-term storage showed convenient physico-mechanical properties.
