Abstract
The thylakoid bioassay is used to determine the effect of herbicides i n water. To avoid isolation for each bioassay, lyophilization of thyla koids for continuous, reproducible supply as bioassay material is desc ibed. This technique maintains the photosynthetic activity after lyoph ilization at 82 +/- 9% (n = 5) of its original level.
