Isocitrate lyase activities in Pinus pinea seeds

Abstract

Some features of cytoplasmic and glyoxysomal isocitrate lyase obtained from stratified and germinated P. pinea seeds, respectively, are described. Both activities showed a different electrophoretic mobility on cellulose acetate and elution behaviour on Sephadex G-200. Cycloheximide inhibited the increase of both activities during the first days of germination. Chloramphenicol did not show the same effect.
