Abstract/Summary

Postembedding immunoelectron microscopy has been used to investigate the diffusibility of an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase and a xylanase from A. niger in soybean. The results showed more specific localisation of the enzymes into the protein and lipid bodies of soybean cells. This was against our hypothesis that suggested that the enzymes should be localised in the cell wall.
