title: Factors affecting volatile terpene and non-terpene biotransformation products in plant cell cultures.
abstract: Suspension cultures from Peganum harmala were shown to carry out biotransformations of a number of terpenes and non-terpenes. The rate of biotransformation was dependent upon substrate concentration, density of cell suspensions, and the structure and isomeric form of the substrates.
