Abstract

The regenerating properties of the extracts derived from the biomass of cultured cells of Ungernia victoris, Panax ginseng, Polyscias filicifolia, Rhodiola rosea and Rhodiola rosea nat. have been shown in the system of cation-induced E. coli transformation by the pBR322 plasmid. These properties displayed the capability to reduce the transformants yield and the recovery of general cell viability.
