Changes in conductivity and pH during the growth cycle of cell suspensions derived from parsley (Petroselinum hortense) and soybean (Glycine max) have been investigated. Measurement of the conductivity of the medium represents a simple, rapid, and reliable method for the precise determination of the

β¦ Synopsis
An intercept in the linear relationship between the biomass increase and decrease in medium conductivity was found in suspension cultures of rice cells. It was due to the consumption of medium salts by the cells during the lag phase. An equation was established for accurate monitoring of the cell growth which aids understanding of the cell physiolo@ especially during the initial stage of cell groir;th.

Studies on the growth and respiration of batch suspension cultures of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in a reference medium containing Murashige-Skoog salts, 2% (w/v) sucrose and yeast extract are reported. It was found that the yeast extract contributed 70% of the phosphate in this medium, and that the cell

Conductivity changes in the medium of cultured soybean (Glycine max L.) cells were shown to be strictly correlated with nitrate uptake and growth of the cultures. A continuous record of the conductivity was used as a simple and reliable method of determining specific growth stages and concomitant pe
The medium of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cells adapted to grow in the presence of 15 g 1-1 NaC1 had a higher peroxidase activity than the medium of an unadapted tomato cell line. When the adapted cells were cultured in a medium without NaCI, the value found for peroxidase activity was intermed
