✦ Synopsis
In this work we studied the production of betalains by suspension culture of Beta vulgaris. The 8. vulgaris grew at a doubling time of 4.8 days. The betalains production was found to be not-growth related.. The culture's response to different carbon sources was investigated. Best growth and pigment production was obtained with sucrose.

Beta vulgaris cells were cultured in specially constructed fluidized bed reactors on Murashige and Skoog medium with 3% sucrose as a carbon source. Biomass density levels of approximately 17-18 g dry cell weight liter 1 for 5 liter fermenters and 9-10 g dry cell weight liter -1 for 50 liter reactor
