Successful examples of anthocyanin production from scale-up cultures.

Plant Species Type of Culture Medium Composition Strategy Followed Response Total Anthocyanin Content References
Aralia cordata Cell suspension in 500-L jar fermenters (Stirred tank bioreactors) MS medium with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg KN and 30 g/L sucrose The combined effect of airflow (0.2 vvm), CO2 (0.3%), and agitation (30 rpm) was evaluated Anthocyanin content was 15.0% on a DW basis 17.2% DW (7.87 g/kg FW) [113]
Daucus carota Cell suspension cultures in 3.5-L (Stirred tank bioreactor) MS medium with 11.4 µM IAA, 0.9 µM KN The effect of salt stress (37.6 mM KnO3 and 20.0 mM NH4NO3) was tested Enhanced AP was recorded 404 µg/g FW [42]
Nicotiana tabacum Cell culture in 2 L bioreactors (Stirred tank bioreactors) LS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 100 mg/L kanamycin Transgenic cell line containing AmDel/AmRos1 Enhanced AP was recorded 90 mg/L [12]
Perilla frutescens Cell suspension culture in 2-L capacity
(Stirred tank bioreactor)
LS medium with 30 g/L sucrose, 10−6 M 2,4-D, and 10−6 M BA The effect of oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) was tested
The effect of light irradiation was evaluated
With aeration of 0.2 vvm, the AP was 220 mg/g DW and 1.65 g/L
The light irradiation enhanced a
a two-fold increase in AP when compared to dark incubation
250 mg/g DW [53]
Vaccinium pahalae Cell suspension culture in 14-L(Stirred tank bioreactors) Woody plant medium with 5.4 µM NAA, 0.45 µM 2,4-D, 20 µM BA, and 5% sucrose The effect of agitation was evaluated The effect of
light was studied and cultures were exposed to
light 40 µmol m−2 s−1 PPF and cultures were agitated at 150 rpm
75 mg/L [114]
Vitis vinifera cell line VVG101 Cell suspension in 17-L column bioreactors (Stirred tank bioreactors) B5 medium with 10 g/L sucrose, 250 mg casein hydrolysate, 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.2 mg/L KN The effect of the reciprocating plate system was tested on airflow conditions Biomass accumulation was
verified
NR [115]
Vitis vanifera cv. Bailye alicant A Callus culture in 500-mL bioreactors (Airlift bioreactors) B5 medium with 30 g/L sucrose, 1 mg/L 2,4-D The effect of osmoticum (0.8% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt) was tested The average
callus size was 490 µm, which
was 1.6 times
larger than that of conventional
medium
33 mg/L [116]
