Abstract:
:Vacuolar sequestration of valuable secondary metabolites remains the major limitation to the use of immobilization technology for large scale plant-cell-based bioprocesses, which otherwise may be a more efficient culture system than suspension for this biomass. In this initial study, the release of indole alkaloids produced by immobilized Catharanthus roseus cells cultured in Zenk's Alkaloid Production Medium was evaluated. Unstimulated alkaloid release in immobilized cultures reached levels of 10 to 50% of total production or 3 to 100% of known alkaloid content (30 to 4700 micrograms l-1), which was higher than that found for suspension cultures of the cell line used (10 to 25% of total production) without apparent cell lysis. Modifications of the medium pH value of immobilized cultures were explored in order to improve this release. Periodical additions of acid (HCl 0.1 N) or base (KOH 0.1 N) solutions (2% v/v) to different cultures resulted in rapid (less than 3 h) and transient variations in extracellular pH value from 5.5 to 4.3, and 5.8 to 8.5, respectively. In both cases, these variations provoked significant increase in total alkaloid (from approximately 5-10 mg l-1 to 15 mg l-1), ajmalicine (from 0 to approximately 0.29 mg l-1) and serpentine (from 0 to approximately 0.20 mg l-1) release, without apparent cell lysis or decrease in the culture viability. This product release was estimated to represent 100% of alkaloids produced.
