Abstract


The molecular forms of the acid phosphatase and RNase in protocorms of Cymbidium Sw. were studied by disc electrophoresis. The effect of streptomycin added to the culture medium on both enzymes was investigated. Significant changes in enzyme activity and electrophoretic patterns occured after addition of streptomycin at the beginning of culture growth. This indicates that the enzymes are affected by streptomycin in early stages of development of the protocorms.
