Secondary metabolite production and Bioreactor Ritasree Sarma
Secondary metabolites Secondary metabolites Chemicals produced by plants for which no role in growth, photosynthesis, reproduction, or other "primary" functions. Secondary metabolism plays a pinnacle role in keeping all the of plants' systems working properly .
Types of secondary metabolites Flavonoids and allied phenolic compounds Terpenoids Nitrogen-containing alkaloids and sulphur -containing compounds
Why tissue culture??
Culture system To regulate maximized production of useful compounds, culture system should be established first Here, establishment of three main culture systems will be introduced: Cell suspension culture Hairy root culture and Adventitious root culture Three kinds of system are all liquid-form culture systems
Establishment of cell culture system Establishment of cell suspension culture A) Callus induction During the callus induction, explants of plant origin should be surface sterilized and sliced into pieces about 0.5 cm 3 in clean bench Inoculated on autoclaved solid basic media (MS, B5, N6, White ) supplemented with sucrose, hormones and agar After the callus was induced, it should be sub-cultured
After sub-culture, usually, various types of callus can be found with different texture and color Callus of various types should be introduced into liquid media (most of the time, after removal of agar, the formula of solid media can be used for liquid media preparation) Contents determination of active compounds should be carried out for cell line selection

Bioreactor B ioreactor It refers to any manufactured or engineered device or system that supports a biologically active environment Process where organisms or biochemically active substances are used to essential produce product or biomass
The simplest design is the air-driven bioreactor equipped with sparger at the bottom of the vessel It is widely used for plant cell, tissue, and organ cultures. In cases where the cells grow rapidly and the cell mass occupies 40-60% of the reactor volume, the flow characteristics become non-Newtonian and the culture medium can no longer be agitated by simple aeration AIR DRIVEN BIOREACTORS
Alternative designs to the airlift bioreactor have been used in the cultivation of plant cells where mixing or aeration is achieved at low shear rates. A bioreactor based on 2 concentric rotating cylinders as been used to grow Beta vulguris cells Aeration is provided by inner cylinder which was gas permeable. Mixing by vortices produced by Taylor- Couette Flow. TAYLOR-COUETTE FLOW 17 4/19/2016
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM:BUBBLE COLUMN 18 Gas is sparged at the base Movement of the liquid is caused by the density differences
Another bioreactor is designed to provide bubble-free aeration via rotating coil of gas permeable membranes . It turns on rollers and the oxygen supply mechanism is entirely different from either the mechanically agitated or the air-lift bioreactor It is suitable not only for the growth of plant cell, tissue, and organs but also for the production of metabolites under high viscosity and high density cultures . ROTATING DRUM BIOREACTOR 19 4/19/2016
T his type of bioreactor is equipped with filters on which the culture is supported and with a shower nozzle for spraying on the medium. Seed cultures are inoculated on the filters and the medium is supplied to the culture by spraying from a shower nozzle . The drained medium is collected on the bottom of the bioreactor. This type of bioreactor is excellent for plant cell, tissue, and organ cultures because there is no mechanical agitation (e.g., driven impeller, aerator) and, therefore, the growth rate and the secondary metabolite production are enhanced.

LIGHT INTRODUCING BIOREACTOR/PHOTO BIOREACTOR A photo bioreactor is a bioreactor that incorporates a light source to provide photonic energy input into the reactor The light source was a sunlight collector system which operated automatically by computer control and the collected light was introduced into the bioreactor through the optical fibers Activation of specific enzymes such as phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and to induce the production of flavonoids or anthocyanins Photomorphogenesis such as development of leaves
