Abstract:
25 species of actinomycetes were tested for the occurrence of lectins. Using a battery of normal and desialized erythrocytes, each species was screened for 3 types of lectin activity i.e. surface bound, extracellular and intracellular. As many as 13 species showed one or more types of activity; some of them were characterized with regard to their biological action spectrum and sugar specificity.
