Abstract
Suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus, Apocynum cannabinum and Conium maculatum were examined for their capacity to transform aniline, anisole, acetanilide, benzoic acid and coumarin. None of the cultures transformed acetanilide, but each produced acetanilide when fed aniline. All 3 cultures converted benzoic acid to its p-hydroxy derivative. Coumarin was selectively hydroxylated at the 7-positon by Catharanthus and Conium and anisole was O-demethylated only by older Catharanthus tissue.
