β¦ Synopsis
The influence of initial concentrations of two of the major medium components, sucrose and nitrate, on the growth and the production of alkaloids and anthraquinones in cell suspension cultures of Onchona ledgeriana Moens was studied. It was found that maximum growth and maximum alkaloid yield were obtained with a B smedium containing the normal level of nitrate and 4% sucrose, whereas the anthraquinone yield was maximum at 8% sucrose at the normal level of nitrate. Maximum contents of secondary metabolites, expressed as tag. g DW -t , were found using a medium containing 2% sucrose, but four times the normal nitrate concentration.

Fermentation yields of Lactobacillus plantarum were measured at controlled p H between 4.0 and 8.0 and initial lactate concentrations of 0-90 g/1. Optimal growth conditions at p H 6.0 without addition of lactate gave a growth rate of 0.57 h -1 and 20 g dry biom a s s / m o l ATP formed (YATP). The p

PSKβΞ± was originally isolated based on its mitogenic activity with plant cultures; it has been reported to increase production of tropane al
