Ceil suspension cultures of the Madagascan Periwinkle Catharanthus roseus (L) G. Don were maintained on Gamborg's B5 medium and their growth monitored by measuring cellular fresh and dry weight, ceil number and mitotic activity. Samples of cells of different ages and physiological states were subcul

Three unselected cell lines of C. roseus maintained on a growth-associated alkaloid production medium were studied over a period of 2 to 5.5 years for the stability of alkaloid production (serpentine and ajmalicine). Large fluctuations in the total alkaloid content of 20-day-old cells were found for
Feeding experiments with tritium-and deuterium-labeled castasterone (CS) were conducted with three cell lines of Catharanthus roseus, including crown gall cells and nontransformed cells. In all three cell lines, the conversion of CS to brassinolide (BL) was observed and unequivocally confirmed by ga
Cell cultures of Catharanthus roseus were scaled up to volumes of 50001 using conventional reactors equipped with fiat-blade impellers. The behavior of the fermenter grown cells was compared with corresponding shake flask experiments with respect to growth and indole alkaloid inducibility and produc
The relationship between the morphology and indole alkaloid production of Catharanthus roseus cells was investigated. Eleven cell lines were randomly selected from protoplast-derived clones. In each line, most of the cells maintained only one of the two shapes, either spherical or cylindrical. The c
