NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase was purified from Brassica oleracea (cauliflower) using ammonium sulfate precipitation, Matrex Red A affinity chromatography and Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration.
Distribution: Main growing areas lie in China, India, West and Mid Europe. Also cultivated in tropical zones of Africa, Mid and South America and Oceania. Prefers deep, humus-rich soil with a good supply of water and high humidity. Frost sensitive.
