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. Streptomycin, penicillin, puromycin, and actinomycin did not completely inhibit the bacterial incorporation, while chloramphenicol was an effective inhibitor. |
