abstract

  • Cultured cells of Amaranthus tricolor were entrapped in chitosan gel to determine the polycationic properties of chitosan on plant cell membrane permeability. During 5 days, a maximum of 2.09 ± 1.63 mg of oxalate, a storage product of A. tricolor cells, was released from chitosan-immobilized cells per gram fresh weight as compared to 0.17 ± 0.16 mg of oxalate from cells entrapped in alginate gels. © 1986, American Chemical Society.
