Read this article to learn about the prospects of drug production in cell cultures and bioreactors. Introduction: Plant cell and callus cultures have been extensively used in the past three decades to explore the possibility of producing useful secondary metabolites through biotechnological methods. These empirical approaches generated enormous data about the plant species producing secondary metabolites in culture, physicochemical factors [...]
This article throws light upon the seven types of secondary metabolites production in bioreactors. The seven production types are: (1) Shikonin Production (2) Berberine Production (3) Rosmarinic Acid Production (4) Indole Alkaloids Production (5) Organ Culture (6) Hairy Root Culture and (7) Commercialization. Production Type # 1. Shikonin Production: Shikonin is used as a remedy for various skin ailments and [...]
This article throws light upon the three types of bioreactors. The three types of bioreactors are: (1) Mechanically Agitated Bioreactors (2) Pneumatically Agitated Bioreactors and (3) Wave Bioreactors. Type # 1. Mechanically Agitated Bioreactors: The mechanically agitated bioreactors are most commonly used for large-scale culture of plant, animal and microbial cells. In this type of bioreactor, the medium is agitated [...]
