Av. Oreshnikov et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF DIOSCOREA-DELTOIDEA CELLS GROWN IN CLOSED CONTINUOUS-CULTURE, Russian journal of plant physiology, 41(6), 1994, pp. 810-814
Dioscorea deltoidea Wall. cell suspension was grown in closed continuo
us culture. Cell growth and synthesis of steroid glycosides as affecte
d by dilution rate, concentration of nutrients, and influence of impel
ler rotation were recorded. By varying the regimes, the following phys
iological states of the cell population were obtained: linear growth r
ate, growth arrest without viability loss, and lysis of most cells in
the population.
