Abstract
The initial specific growth rate of Atropa belladonna hairy roots in s hake flasks was found to vary with the number of inoculum root tips. I ncreasing the number of tips from 3 to 9 reduced growth rates in 50 an d 100 ml of medium by up to 40%. These results are interpreted by cons idering the influence of factors such as medium conditioning and oxyge n mass transfer on root growth.
