Light requirement and photosynthetic cell cultivation – Development of processes for efficient light utilization in photobioreactors

Although the potential of photosyntheticmicroorganisms for production of various metabolitesand in environmental bioremediation is recognized,their practical application has been limited by thedifficulty in supplying light efficiently tophotobioreactors. Various types of photobioreactorwith high illumination to volume ratios have beenproposed, but most are limited by cost, mass transfer,contamination, scale-up or a combination of these.The problem of light supply to photobioreactorscan be solved by developing photosynthetic cellcultivation systems where light is either substitutedor supplemented. Many strains of photosynthetic cellsare capable of heterotrophic growth under darkconditions and their heterotrophic culture can be usedfor efficient production of biomass and somemetabolites. However, light is absolutely required forefficient production of some metabolites. In suchcases, there is a need to supplement the heterotrophicwith photoautotrophic metabolism. Inphotoheterotrophic (mixotrophic) culture, thephotoautotrophic and heterotrophic metabolisms can beexploited for efficient production of usefulmetabolites but it has many problems such as processoptimization in terms of making a balance between thephotoautotrophic and heterotrophic metabolism. Another promising system is the sequentialheterotrophic/ photoautotrophic cultivation system,where the cells are cultivated heterotrophically tohigh concentrations and then passed through aphotobioreactor for accumulation of the desiredmetabolite(s). Furthermore, cyclicphotoautotrophic/heterotrophic cultivation system canbe used to achieve continuous cell growth underday/night cycles. This involves cultivating thecells photoautotrophically using solar light duringthe day and then adding controlled amount of organiccarbon source during the night for heterotrophicgrowth. In this review, these various systems arediscussed with some specific examples.     

Tapping culture-an improved method for cell suspension culture

Summary A new culture vessel was designed for cell suspension culture. A silicone-convered magnet bar fixed by one end to the side wall of the bottle was held horizontally a short distance from the bottom. A standard type magnetic stirrer was used. In contrast to the conventional horizontal movement of “stirring” in cultures the bar moves vertically with a “tapping” motion. This improvement resulted in less cell injury, higher rate of cell proliferation and formation of fewer bubbles than in the conventional type. Nine cell types were simultaneously cultivated in tapping, stirring and stationary culture. All cell types proliferated more luxuriously in tapping cultures than in stirring cultures. Serial cultivation of cells in tapping cultures was also successful.

本文报道了利用矿棉进行黄瓜无土育苗的效应及生长发育的研究结果。于1986年秋季进行了试验研究,两种育苗法的黄瓜幼苗干重对数值与时间的回归方程分别为: 矿棉培土培黄瓜幼苗LnW=6.0376 0.1068t LnW=5.8500 0.0960t 经F值检验达极显著。两种育苗法在生长量上的差距显著,试验结束时,矿棉培幼苗于重高于土培幼苗近两倍;经幼苗各器官分析,矿棉培幼苗根系效应最大,高出土培幼苗的3-4倍;其次是叶,高出2倍;再次是茎轴1.5倍左右。经矿棉育苗的幼苗质量好,移栽成活率高,有利于植物根系舒伸生长,证明矿棉是一种良好的植物育苗基质。本文详细地讨论了利用矿棉进行无土育苗的优越性和发展前景。     

猪苓、伴生菌及蜜环菌共培养的形态学研究

本文对猪苓、伴生菌及蜜环菌两两共培养及三者共培养进行了宏观形态观察及细胞学水平上的研究。结果表明,猪苓与伴生菌共培养时,在二者之间形成一致密拮抗线,猪苓菌落表面菌丝分化产生大量菌丝束;猪苓与蜜环菌共培养时,猪苓能阻止蜜环菌菌索对其自身的进一步侵袭,互作区中的双方菌丝及菌索均停止生长;蜜环菌与伴生菌共培养时,蜜环菌能穿透整个伴生菌菌落,在伴生菌菌落下方产生大量分枝;三者共培养后,猪苓对蜜环菌的防御能力有所下降,伴生菌对蜜环菌的耐受力有所提高,蜜环菌产生的新分枝均向伴生菌一侧生长,猪苓与伴生菌之间并不形成致密拮抗线,只可见双方菌丝的白色交融区。 猪苓与伴生菌均能在蜜环菌菌索皮层上形成侵入位点。     

Three-dimensional growth patterns of various human tumor cell lines in simulated microgravity of a NASA bioreactor

Summary Growth patterns of a number of human tumor cell lines that form three-dimensional structures of various architectures when cultured without carrier beads in a NASA rotary cell culture system are described and illustrated. The culture system, which was designed to mimic microgravity, maintained cells in suspension under very low-shear stress throughout culture. Spheroid (particulate) production occurred within a few hours after culture was started, and spheroids increased in size by cell division and fusion of small spheroids, usually stabilizing at a spheroid diameter of about 0.5 mm. Architecture of spheroids varied with cell type. Cellular interactions that occurred in spheroids resulted in conformation and shape changes of cells, and some cell lines produced complex, epithelial-like architectures. Expression of the cell adhesion molecules, CD44 and E cadherin, was upregulated in the three-dimensional constructs. Coculture of fibroblast spheroids with PC3 prostate cancer cells induced tenascin expression by the fibroblasts underlying the adherent prostate epithelial cells. Invasion of the fibroblast spheroids by the malignant epithelium was also demonstrated.     

A method for growing stationary plant suspension cell cultures

Summary Stationary culture of plant cell suspensions has been achieved. Slurries, produced when small amounts of agar (0.1–0.4%) were added to culture media, were used to suspend plant cells. Growth proceeded more slowly than in standard shake culture, but cells remained viable for months of culture. This method of growing plant cells in stationary culture should be useful for general applications including long-term cell culture, shipment of cultures, and physiological, molecular biological, and pathological studies. Mention of a trademark, proprietary product, or vendor does not constitute a guarantee or warranty of the product by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and does not imply its approval to the exclusion of other products or vendors that may also be suitable. Editor’s Statement This procedure for growing stationary suspension cultures in an agar slurry should be useful for shipping suspensions and for long-term maintenance of little used or back-up cultures.

A cytotoxic substance in insect cell culture spent media

Summary Spent media from five different insect cell lines when inoculated intoTrichoplusia ni (TN-368) cultures produced cytotoxicity resulting in rounding and detachment of cells. The substance in spent medium from the established cell lineCarpocapsa pomonella (CP-169) is believed to be a toxin, based on the failure to serially passage the agent, the early appearance of the cytotoxic effect, and the inability to detect microbes by culturing techniques as well as by electron microscopy. The ability to extract the toxic substance from CP-169 cells indicates that it is cell associated. Biophysical and biochemical properties of the CP-169 cytotoxin are presented.     

A model for tumorigenicity and metastatic potential: Growth in 1.0% agar cultures

Summary We developed a method to determine the amount of work performed by cells through cell division in 1.0% agar cultures. There was no correlation between the cloning efficiencies of 1.0 and 0.3% agar cultures. Growth in 1.0% agar cultures correlated well with such malignant properties as tumorigenicity and the invasive and metastatic potentials. Our method revealed that metastatic MC and F cell lines possess different means of taking advantage of energy to proliferate against an environmental pressure from those possesed by nontumorigenic (ME and T-C3H) cell strain/line or nonmetastatic but tumorigenic (L, MR, and magc₁) cell lines.

Kinetic study of hybridoma cell growth in continuous culture: II. Behavior of producers and comparison to nonproducers

A hybridoma cell line, AFP-27-P, was cultivated in continuous culture under glucose-limited conditions. The viable cell concentration, dead-cell concentration, and cell volume all varied with the dilution rate. A model previously developed for a nonproducing clone of the same cell line, AFP-27-NP, was extended to describe the behavior of the cells. The relationship between the specific growth rate and glucose concentration is described by a function similar to the Monod model. A threshold glucose concentration and a minimum specific growth rate are incorporated; the model is meaningful only at glucose concentration and a minimum specific growth rate are incorporated; the model is meaningful only at glucose concentrations and specific growth rates above these levels. The relationship between the death rate and the glucose concentration is described by an inverted Monod-type function. Furthermore, the yield coefficient based on glucose is constant in the lower range of specific growth rates and changes to a new constant value in the upper range of specific growth rates. No maintenance term for glucose consumption is used; in the plot of specific glucose consumption rate vs. specific growth rate, the line intercepts the specific growth rate at a value close to the minimum growth rate. The productivity of antibody as a function of the specific growth rate is described by a mixed type model with a noon-growth-associated term and a negative-growth-associated term. The values for the model parameters were determined from regression analysis of the steady state data.     

High density culture of mouse-human hybridoma cells using a perfusion culture apparatus with multi-settling zones to separate cells from the culture medium

Mouse-human hybridoma X87X cells were cultivated using a novel perfusion culture apparatus provided with three-settling zones to separate the cells from the culture medium by gravitational settling. The maximum viable cell density in a serum-free culture medium attained 3.0×10⁷ cells/ml, when the specific perfusion rate was set to 2.3 vol day^-1, and monoclonal antibody was continuously produced. These results were almost the same as those in the perfusion culture vessel with one settling zone and revealed that the process with a plurality of settling zones is a promising one for scale-up of a gravitation type of perfusion culture vessel.     

Effects of medium composition on the morphology and function of rat hepatocytes cultured as spheroids and monolayers

Primary hepatocytes cultured as monolayers or as spheroids were studied to compare the effects of four different culture media (Williams' E, Chee's, Sigma Hepatocyte, and HepatoZYME medium). Rat hepatocytes were cultured as conventional monolayers for 3 d or as spheroids for 2 wk. For spheroid formation a method was emplOyed that combined the use of a nonadherent substratum with rotation of cultures. Hepatocyte integrity and morphology were assessed by light and electron microscopy and by reduced glutathione content. Hepatocyte function was measured by albumin secretion and 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism. Chee's medium was found to be optimal for maintenance of hepatocyte viability and function in monolayers, but it failed to support spheroid formation. For spheroid formation and for the maintenance of spheroid morphology and function, Sigma HM was found to be optimal. These results demonstrate that the medium requirements of hepatocytes differ markedly depending on the culture model employed. Spheroid culture allowed better preservation of morphology and function of hepatocytes compared with conventional monolayer culture. Hepatocytes in spheroids formed bile canaliculi. and expressed an actin distribution resembling that found in hepatocytes in vivo. Albumin secretion was maintained at the same level as that found during the first d in primary culture, and 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism was maintained over 2 wk in culture at approximately 30% of the levels found in freshly isolated hepatocytes. The improved morphology and function of hepatocyte cultures as spheroids may provide a more appropriate in vitro model for certain applications where the maintenance of liver-specific functions in long-term culture is crucial.
