Scale-up production of puerarin from hairy roots of Pueraria phaseoloides in an airlift bioreactor

Hairy roots of the Chinese herb, Pueraria phaseoloides, obtained from leaf explants and transformed with the Agrobacterium rhizogenes, were cultured in 2.5 l airlift bioreactors for three weeks. Puerarin accumulated at 5,570 microg g(-1) dry wt, which is near 200 times as much as in 250 ml flask cultures. In addition, puearin was exuded into the nutrient medium at final concentrations higher than in the hairy roots themselves.     

Effect and mechanism of endophytic bacteria on growth and secondary metabolite synthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza hairy roots

Our study found that except Novosphingobium resinovorum (B5) Salvia miltiorrhiza root endophytic bacteria Pseudomonas brassicacearum sub sp. neoaurantiaca (B1), Rhizobium radiobacter (B2), Pseudomonas thivervalensis (B3), Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis (B4) significantly improved the activity of key enzymes 3-hydroxy-3-methyglutary1-CoA reductase and 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase in the biosynthetic pathway of tanshinones. Specifically, HMGR activity with B1 treatment increased 2.1-fold that of control, 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase activity with B2 treatment increased 5.0-fold that of control, which caused a significant increase in tanshinone content in the hairy roots. The dihydrotanshinone I and cryptotanshinone content under B1 treatment increased 19.2-fold and 11.3-fold, respectively, and total tanshinone content increased 3.7-fold that of control. The five endophytic bacteria B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 all significantly decreased phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and tyrosine aminotransferase activity in hairy roots, of which, B3 treatment decreased phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity by 46.2 %, and B2 treatment decreased tyrosine aminotransferase activity by 44.7 % compared with the control. Each of the five endophytic bacteria decomposed rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B, which caused a significant decrease in rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B content in hairy roots, with B2 treatment decreasing rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B content by 94.5 and 89.0 %, respectively, compared with the control. The five endophytic bacteria also inhibited the growth of S. miltiorrhiza hairy roots, of which, B2 and B4 treatment decreased hairy root biomass by 55.2 and 51.3 %, respectively, compared with the control, while hairy roots promoted the growth of B4 and B5 and inhibited the growth of B1 and B3.     

Effect of bacitracin on growth and monoclonal antibody production by tobacco hairy roots and cell suspensions

Hairy roots and suspended cells of transformedNicotiana tabacum were used to produce full length murine IgG₁ monoclonal antibody. The maximum amount of antibody accumulated per g dry weight in the hairy root cultures was 6.5 times that in the suspension cultures. Up to 48% of the antibody in the suspension cultures was found extracellularly, while a maximum of only 17% was recovered from the hairy root medium. The amount of assembled antibody in the root and suspension cultures was significantly reduced by intracellular and/or extracellular antibody degradation soon after the end of the exponential growth phase. Bacitracin, a polypeptide antibiotic, has been shown in previous work to prevent degradation of peptides and hormones in plant and mammalian systems. Treatment of hairy roots and cell suspensions with 100 μg/mL bacitracin was not sufficient to prevent loss of antibody from the cultures, but improved the specific growth rates by up to 53%. At concentrations of 250 μg/mL and above, bacitracin had a toxic effect on hairy roots, which may limit the application of this peptide in plant tissue culture.     

Effect of water deficit on biomass production and accumulation of secondary metabolites in roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis

Two-year-old seedlings of licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch) were exposed to three degrees of water deficit, namely weak (60–70%), moderate (40–50%), and strong (20–30%) relative water content in soil, whereas control plants were grown in soil with 80–90% water content. Moderate and strong water deficit decreased the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and biomass production. Water use efficiency and the root-to-shoot ratio increased significantly in response to water deficit, indicating a high tolerance to drought. Weak water deficit did not decrease root biomass production, but significantly increased the production of glycyrrhizic acid (by 89%) and liquiritin (by 125%) in the roots. Therefore, a weak water deficit can increase the yield of root medical compounds without negative effect on root growth.     

Bioreactor for cultivation of red beet hairy roots and in situ recovery of primary and secondary metabolites

To arrive at an appropriate bioreactor design and in situ recovery of the products, red beet hairy roots were used as a model system where the levels of betalain pigments (betacyanins and betaxanthins) were followed as secondary metabolite and the peroxidase enzyme as primary metabolite. Medium volume and other kinetic parameters were found to play significant roles by way of directly affecting the biomass yield rather than a specific metabolite. The hydrodynamic stress created on the roots by large culture volume could be minimized by pulse‐feeding of medium in shake‐flasks; and by separating the biomass chamber from the aerated medium reservoir in circulatory fed‐batch bioreactor. Accordingly the bioreactor was modified to provide anchorage and air‐enrichment chamber which resulted in higher formation of both the metabolites than in shake‐flasks. Various down‐stream processing aspects such as in situ release of pigments by non‐destructive methods, followed by adsorption through a column and recovery by desorption were optimized for betalains. A strategy for simultaneous recovery of pigment and peroxidase was worked out using aqueous two phase extraction (ATPE).     

Exogenous auxin effects on growth and phenotype of normal and hairy roots of Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi

Pueraria lobata hairy roots have faster elongationand more branches than normal roots. The responses of hairy roots and normalroots to treatment with three auxins, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA),indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) were different.In normal roots, all three auxins strongly stimulated lateral root formation atall tested concentrations. Responses to IAA and IBA in primary root growth andlateral root elongation were similar and depended on concentration; promotionat0.1 M, no effect at 1.0 M, and inhibition at2.5 M. In hairy roots, lateral root formation varied inresponseto the different auxins, i.e. depressed by NAA, unaffected by IAA, and promotedby IBA. Primary root growth was slightly inhibited by IBA and was unaffected byIAA. However, mean lateral root length was reduced in response to IAA and IBA.Only NAA exerted strong inhibition on primary and lateral root elongation inboth root types. The similar free IAA and conjugated IAA content but quitedifferent basal ethylene production and biosynthesis in hairy and normal rootssuggested different mechanisms of response to exogenous auxins in the two roottypes.     

Effect of elicitors on the production of gossypol and methylated gossypol in cotton hairy roots

The effect of two chemical elicitors, salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate, on the production of gossypol, 6-methoxygossypol, and 6,6′-dimethoxygossypol in Gossypium barbadense hairy roots was examined. Methyl jasmonate, but not salicylic acid, was found to increase the production of gossypol and its methylated forms, but with a concomitant reduction in culture growth. The optimal methyl jasmonate dose was between 100 and 300 μM for hairy roots harvested 7 days after elicitation. After 20 d of induction with 100 μM methyl jasmonate, an eightfold increase in the level of gossypol was observed in elicited cultures compared with control cultures, double the highest gossypol levels previously reported for any cotton tissue. A two to threefold increase in the level of 6-methoxygossypol and a slight increase in the levels of 6,6′-dimethoxygossypol were also observed. Although methyl jasmonate stimulated the production of both optical forms of gossypol, the distribution of the enantiomers was different between elicited and control cultures.     

Effect of differentiation on the regulation of indole alkaloid production in Catharanthus roseus hairy roots

In vitro cultures of hairy root derived from Catharanthus roseus accumulate higher levels of indole alkaloids than cell suspension cultures. Hairy roots were interconverted to undifferentiated cells by manipulation of the culture medium. When the concentration of micronutrients in the culture medium was five times that of Phillips and Collins (1979) medium, cell suspensions formed from the hairy roots. The alkaloid content was five times lower in the cell suspensions than in the control, but upon regeneration of the roots the alkaloid content regained its original level. The formation of cell suspensions from hairy roots was also accompanied by a reduction in tryptophan decarboxylase and the strictosidine synthase activity to less than 5% and 30%, respectively. 3-Hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity was the same in the cell suspension and in the regenerated line.

Elicitation: A biotechnological tool for enhanced production of secondary metabolites in hairy root cultures

Elicitation is a possible aid to overcome various difficulties associated with the large‐scale production of most commercially important bioactive secondary metabolites from wild and cultivated plants, undifferentiated or differentiated cultures. Secondary metabolite accumulation in vitro or their efflux in culture medium has been elicited in the undifferentiated or differentiated tissue cultures of several plant species by the application of a low concentration of biotic and abiotic elicitors in the last three decades. Hairy root cultures are preferred for the application of elicitation due to their genetic and biosynthetic stability, high growth rate in growth regulator‐free media, and production consistence in response to elicitor treatment. Elicitors act as signal, recognized by elicitor‐specific receptors on the plant cell membrane and stimulate defense responses during elicitation resulting in increased synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites. Optimization of various parameters, such as elicitor type, concentration, duration of exposure, and treatment schedule is essential for the effectiveness of the elicitation strategies. Combined application of different elicitors, integration of precursor feeding, or replenishment of medium or in situ product recovery from the roots/liquid medium with the elicitor treatment have showed improved accumulation of secondary metabolites due to their synergistic effect. This is a comprehensive review about the progress in the elicitation approach to hairy root cultures from 2010 to 2019 and the information provided is valuable and will be of interest for scientists working in this area of plant biotechnology.
