Abstract
Suspension cultures initiated from two different Linum album seedlings accumulate either podophyllotoxin or 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin as main lignans due to the different activity of the enzyme deoxypodophyllotin 6-hydroxylase. Data about the enzyme activity during a subculture period on the enzyme characteristics as well as concerning the biosynthetic pathway are discussed.
