Abstract
The catalytic activity on flavonoids and dibenzylbutanolides and the specif icity of the peroxidase isolated from 29d-old cell cultures of Cassia didym obotrya are reported. Studies on several substrates in comparison with hors eradish peroxidase revealed peculiar activities and suggested the enzyme to be involved in the lignification process.
