Abstract
Plant cell cultures, like microorganisms, are able to effect structural modifications on exogenously supplied steroids (Reinhard, 1974; Stochs, 1980). In this context the biotransformation of cardiac glycosides by suspension-cultured Digitalis lanata cells (Reinhard et al., 1975) is of special interest because of the world-wide use of these compounds in the treatment of heart diseases.
