Ultrahigh diterpenoid tanshinone production through repeated osmotic stress and elicitor stimulation in fed-batch culture of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salvia miltiorrhiza</Emphasis> hairy roots

Hyperosmotic stress (OS, created with 50 g/L sorbitol) and a yeast elicitor (YE, polysaccharide fraction of yeast extract) applied to Salvia miltiorrhiza hairy root cultures had a synergistic effect on the diterpenoid tanshinone production. With a single OS+YE treatment and nutrient feeding, the total tanshinone content of roots was increased by sevenfold (from 0.2 to 1.6 mg/g dry weight (dw)) and the volumetric yield by 13-fold (from 1.95 to 27.4 mg/L) compared to the batch control culture. With repeated feeding of OS and nutrient medium in an extended fed-batch culture process (i.e., 10 mL fresh medium with 50 g/L sorbitol 25 mg/L YE, every 5 days from day 21 to day 60), the total tanshinone content of roots was increased to 18.1 mg/g dw (or 1.8 wt.%) and the volumetric tanshinone yield to 145 mg/L, which were about 100-fold and 70-fold of those, respectively, in the batch control. Another interesting finding was the presence of root fragments (fine particles) with extremely high tanshinone content in the OS+YE treated cultures. It was also possible to reuse the sorbitol medium for the hairy root growth and tanshinone production to reduce the medium expenses.     

Enhancement of growth and polysaccharide production in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense by the addition of putrescine

Putrescine at 0.6 mM stimulated protocorm-like body growth and polysaccharide synthesis in suspension cultures of Dendrobium huoshanense. The specific growth rate of protocorm-like body increased from 0.047 to 0.056 day⁻¹, and the maximum dry weight and polysaccharide production reached 33.2 and 2.94 g l⁻¹, respectively, while they were 24.6 and 2.12 g l⁻¹, respectively, in the control. The administration of polyamine inhibitor, α-dl-difluoromethylarginine, at 1 mM, decreased protocorm-like body growth and polysaccharide production to 21.4 and 1.76 g l⁻¹, respectively.     

Effect of yeast elicitor and salicylic acid on the fluctuation of phytohormone contents in Ti-transformed Salvia miltiorrhiza cell cultures

When Ti transformed Salvia miltiorrhiza cells werecultured in a MS-NH₄ medium (MS without ammonium nitrate, containing30 g/L sucrose) at 25 °C in darkness for 18d, the total tanshinone (cryptotanshinone and tashinone IIA)contents in cultures were 12.23 mg/L and 15.07 mg/Lfor yeast elicitor (4 g/L), and yeast elicitor plus 200mol/L salicylic acid (SA) treated cultures, respectively,whereas only trace amounts of tanshinone were detected in the control or SAtreated cells. To explore the hormonal background concerning these phenomena,endogenous phytohormones were determined using ELISA kits. We found that ABA andiPAs contents in yeast elicitor plus SA treated cell cultures were increased 2.8to 9.8-fold and 3.6 to 5.8-fold respectively, while contents of GA₁and IAA were decreased by 13.2%–56.9% and 34.8%–74.6% respectively.This suggests that higher levels of ABA and iPAs combined with lower levels ofGA₁ and IAA inhibit the growth of cells, then probably stimulate thetanshinone production.     

Quantitative response of cell growth and polysaccharide biosynthesis by the medicinal mushroom Phellinus linteus to NaCl in the medium

The effect of NaCl on cell growth and polysaccharide biosynthesis in the medicinal mushroom Phellinus linteus was studied. With the increase of NaCl concentration between 1 g/l and 7 g/l in the culture medium, the cell growth and intracellular polysaccharide (IPS) accumulation were decreased; extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) concentration was enhanced, with an increase of NaCl concentration from 1 g/l to 3 g/l. Under the optimum NaCl concentration of 3 g/l, the maximum EPS and IPS production reached 2.2±0.15 g/l and 53.6±2.45 mg/g DW on day 12, which improved 32.27% and decreased 16.89% compared to the control, respectively. Both EPS and IPS showed new polysaccharide components by fractionation with DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography compared to the control. The results presented in this study are considered helpful for further investigation on the diversity of polysaccharide biosynthesis of this medicinal fungus under NaCl environments.     

Stimulation of murine granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor production by Pluronic F-68 and polyethylene glycol in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cell culture

Pluronic F-68, PEG 8000, or PEG 20 000 added to cell suspension cultures of transgenic Nicotiana tabacum promoted cell growth and the production of the recombinant murine granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) in a 5-l stirred tank bioreactor. The specific growth rates were enhanced from 0.27 d^–1 to 0.47 d^–1, 0.37 d^–1 and 0.4 d^–1 when Pluronic F-68, PEG 8000, or PEG 20 000 was added, respectively. The maximum cell density was also increased most to 13.6 g l^–1 when Pluronic F-68 was added (11.3 g l^–1 in the control culture). In terms of mGM-CSF production, PEG 8000 gave the greatest stimulation and with 2 g PEG 8000 l^–1, mGM-CSF increased from 1.6 to 6.6 ng ml^–1.     

Sustainable, High-Yielding Outdoor Mass Cultures of Chaetoceros muelleri var. subsalsum and Isochrysis galbana in Vertical Plate Reactors

Continuous cultures of Chaetoceros muelleri and Isochrysis galbana were grown outdoors in flat plate-glass reactors in which light-path length (LPL) varied from 5 to 30 cm. High daily productivity (13 to 16 g cell mass per square meter of irradiated reactor surface) for long periods of time was obtained in reactors in which the optical path as well as cell density were optimized. 'Twenty centimeters was the optimal LPL, yielding the highest areal productivity of cell mass (g m^–2d^–1), eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid, which was identical with that previously found for polysaccharide production of Porphyridium and not far from the optimal LPL affecting maximal productivity in Nannochloropsis species. Relating the energy impinging on a given reactor surface area to the appropriate number of cells showed that the most efficient light dose per cell, obtained with the 20-cm LPL reactor, was approximately 2.5 times lower than the light dose available per cell in the 5-cm LPL reactor, in which a significant decline in areal cell density accompanied the lowest areal output of cell mass. The most effective harvesting regimen was in the range of 10% to 15% of culture volume harvested daily and replaced with fresh growth medium, resulting in a sustainable culture density of 24 × 10⁶ and 28 × 10⁶ cells/ml of C. muelleri and I. galbana, respectively.     

Influence of growth conditions on production of capsular and extracellular polysaccharides byRhizobium leguminosarum

The influence of growth rate and medium composition on exopolymer production byRhizobium leguminosarum was studied. When grown in medium containing 10g/l mannitol and 1g/l glutamic acid,Rhizobium leguminosarum biovartrifolii TA-1 synthesized up to 2.0g/l of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), and up to 1.6g/l of capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Under non-growing cell conditions in medium without glutamic acid, CPS synthesis by strain TA-1 could proceed to 2.1g/l, while EPS-production remained relatively low (0.8g/l). Maximal CPS-yield was 2.9g CPS/l medium in a medium containing 20g/l mannitol and 2g/l glutamic acid. TheEPS-deficient strain R. leguminosarum RBL5515,exo4::Tn5 was able to produce CPS to similar levels as strain TA-1, but CPS-recovery was easier because of the low viscosity of the medium and growth of the cells in pellets. With strain TA-1 in nitrogen-limited continuous cultures with a constant biomass of 500mg cell protein/l, EPS was the most abundant polysaccharide present at every dilution rate D (between 0.12 and 0.02 h^–1). The production rates were 50–100mg/g protein/h for EPS and 15–20mg/g protein/h for CPS. Only low amounts of cyclic -(1,2)-glucans were excreted (10–30 mg/l) over the entire range of growth rates.Abbreviations bv biovar - CPS capsular polysaccharide - EPS extracellular polysaccharide - HM_r high molecular mass - LM_r low molecular mass - YEMCR Yeast Extract-Mannitol-Congo Red agar     

Buoyant density changes due to intracellular content of sulfur in Chromatium warmingii and Chromatium vinosum

Average specific density of individual cells of pure cultures of Chromatium warmingii and Chromatium vinosum were measured by isopicnic gradient centrifugation with Percoll during growth at constant illumination as a function of the increasing content of intracellular sulfur. Cell number and volume, bacteriochlorophyll a, sulfide, and sulfur were followed in the cultures along with cellular buoyant density. Poly--hydroxybutyrate was monitored at several points during growth of the cultures. The density of C. warmingii changed from 1.071 to 1.108 g cm^-3 (sulfur content per cell varied from 0 to 1.71pg). C. vinosum changed its density from 1.096 to 1.160 g cm^-3 (sulfur content per cell varied from 0 to 0.43 pg). Maximum sulfur content in pg of sulfur per m³ of cell volume were 0.178 for C. warmingii and 0.294 for C. vinosum. Measurement of the differences in buoyant density, volume and sulfur content before and after ethanol extraction of cells with and without intracellular sulfur, allowed tentatively to estimate the density of sulfur inside the cells as 1.219 g cm^-3. Isolation of sulfur globules and centrifugation in density gradients gave a density higher than 1.143 g cm^-3 for these intracellular inclusions.Non-common abbreviations Bchl Bacteriochlorophyll - DMB Density Marker Beads - PHB poly--hydroxybutyrate
