Effect of Acholeplasma laidlawii var. granulum on lectin activity of sugar beet calluses

: The dynamics of lectin activity of sugar beet calluses infected by mollicute Acholeplasma laidlawii var granulum str. 118 was studied. Activity of acid-soluble lectins of sugar beet cell cultures increased 4.5 times during some first hours after infecting by acholeplasma. At early stages of infecting by mollicute qualitative changes were also revealed in the protein spectra of acid-soluble lectins of sugar beet calluses.
