Abstract
Adding olive oil to an insect cell (Spodoptera frugiperda) cultivation with a TNM-FK medium enhanced cell growth. In the static cultivation, growth with 0.5% oil increased viable cell density by 32%, while cult ivation in spinner flasks agitated at 260 rpm increased by 64%. With a gradual increase of agitation from 60 rpm to 500 rpm, the viable eel density was 81% higher than that without the olive oil supplement.
