Resumo

The levels of activity of β-d-glucosidase, α-d-mannosidase, α- and β-d-galactosidase, 1,3-, 1,6-, 1,4-β-d-glucanases, 1,4-α-d-glucanase, fucoidanhydrolase and agarase were measured in extracts of non-transgenic and transgenic Panax ginseng cultures transformed with the rolC gene. Significantly increased levels of activity of β- and α-d-galactosidases and 1,3-β-d-glucanase were detected in rolC-gene transformed cells, compared to the control non-transformed cells, while levels of activity of other enzymes were unchanged. These, as well as the gel-permeation experiments, revealed that transformation of ginseng cells by the rolC gene could significantly affect activity of some carbohydrases and production of their molecular forms.
