Abstract

The effects of various perfluorochemical (PFC) oils on growth and structure of microbial and plant cell cultures have been studied. Growth of microbial cells was unaffected by culture with PFCs and no obvious deleterious effects on cell structure or alterations in polypeptide profiles of cell extracts were observed. Incubation of S. dulcamara cells with FDC oil produced an increase in culture growth rate, as measured by changes in wet and dry cell weights, probably by providing protection against hydrodynamic damage.
