Abstract
The incorporation of C14-leucine into protein bodies isolated from developing maize endosperm was studied. Protein bodies which incorporated significant amounts of C14-leucine were found to be contaminated with bacteria, while protein bodies prepared with sterile techniques incorporated C14-leucine at very low rates.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
