Nuôi cấy tế bào Nhân sâm Panax ginseng trong bioreactor: Vai trò của ôxy trong sản xuất sinh khối và sản phẩm ginsenoside Ảnh hưởng của nồng độ ôxy (20.8-50%) đến quá trình nuôi cấy tế bào Panax ginseng đã được nghiên cứu trong bioreactor hình cầu với dung tích 5l có chứa 4l môi trường MS. Ở nồng độ ôxy 40% đã cho thấy là thích hợp cho việc sản xuất sinh khối và sản phẩm ginsenoside với kết quả thu được là 12.8 g/L sinh khối khô, và 4.5 mg/g SKK ginsenoside vào ngày thứ 25. Các nồng độ ôxy 20.8, 30 và 50% là không thích hợp cho quá trình nuôi cấy tế bào cũng như sự tích lũy sản phẩm ginsenoside. Kết quả trên đây cũng chỉ ra rằng ôxy là nhân tố hữu hiệu trong sản xuất sinh khối và sản phẩm ginsenoside ở quy mô lớn hơn. I. ABSTRACT The effects of oxygen supply within the range of 20.8%- 50% (along with purified air), on high-density cell culture of Panax ginseng were investigated in an balloon type bioreactor (5 l capacity and containing 4 l of MS medium). A 40% oxygen supply was found optimal for the production of cell mass and ginsenoside with corresponding values of 12.8 g l -1 DW, 4.5-mg/g DW on day 25, respectively. A low (20.8%, 30%) and well as high concentration of oxygen (50%) supply was unfavorable to the cell cultures and they affect the cell growth and ginsenoside accumulation. The results indicate that oxygen is a key factor in scaling up the process of suspension cultures of Panax ginseng and supplementation of oxygen is useful for efficient large-scale production of ginsenosides by the submerged cultures. II. INTRDUCTION Plants are an abundant source of a large number of useful products including pharmaceutical and food additives. Plant cell cultures are an alternative source to whole plant for the production of high-value secondary metabolites. During the past decade, a considerable progress has been made to stimulate formation and accumulation of secondary metabolites using plant cell cultures (Rao and Ravishankar, 2002). Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer), a member of Araliaceae, is traditionally considered one of the most potent medicinal plants. Ginsenosides have been regarded as the most important active components in ginseng roots and are attributed with cardio-protective, immunomodulatory, anti-fatigue, and hepato-protective physiological and pharmacological effects (Zhang and Zhong, 1997). In recent years, plant cells are cultured in large-scale bioreactors for production of secondary metabolites including pharmaceuticals, pigments, and other chemicals (Rao and Ravishankar, 2002). Growth and accumulation of secondary metabolites in large-scale bioreactors is influenced by various factors such as shear stress, oxygen supply, and gas composition. A conventional stirred-tank bioreactor can produce a high shear region, while in many cases airlift and bubble column reactors are used for providing shear environment compared to turbine-agitated reactors. As reported, oxygen supply is also significant in affecting secondary metabolites formation in cell cultures (Gao and Lee, 1992; Zhong et al., 1993; Han and Zhong, 2003). Gas exchange between the gas and liquid phases is another important factor that may affect the scale-up of plant cell cultures. In bioreactors, forced aeration is needed to supply oxygen and to improve fluid mixing. However, it may also lead to the removal of some known (such as CO 2 and ethylene) or unknown gaseous compounds. Such gaseous metabolites were proven or suggested to be important for cell growth and/or synthesis of secondary metabolites in plant cell cultures (Gao and Lee, 1992). The concentration of dissolved oxygen can be easily controlled in bubble/airlift bioreactors and interaction between O 2 supply, cell growth and metabolite biosynthesis can be observed. In this study, we have used balloon type bioreactors for cell cultures of ginseng and the interaction between oxygen supply, cell growth, and ginsenoside production was investigated. The significance of gas control during bioreactor culture has been established and this study is considered useful for biotechnological application ginseng cell cultures to the production of ginsenosides on a large scale. III. MATERIALS AND METHODS Induction and proliferation of callus Six-year-old fresh ginseng roots (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) were sterilized and cultured as described by Yu, (2000). Bioreactor cultures A five-liter capacity balloon type bioreactors were used containing 4 l of MS (Murashige, Skoog, 1962) medium working volume with the culture condition as described by Thanh et al., (2004; 2005) to increase the biomass. Sixty grams cell fresh weight per liter was added as inoculum. In the bubble bioreactor, a sinter glass was used for aeration, and the airflow rate was adjusted during cultivation to homogenous mixing state. To investigate the effects of different levels of oxygen in the inlet air, air was mixed with different concentrations of oxygen i.e., 20.8% (control), 30%, 40%, and 50%. The schematic diagram of the whole experimental system is shown in Fig. 1. The cultivation temperature was controlled at 25±2 o C and continuous darkness was maintained. Three identical cultivation vessels were operated under each condition, and the cultivation data shown represent average values with standard deviations. The bioreactor cultures were maintained up to 30 days. Sampling and analyses of cell weight, medium sugar, conductivity A sample of 30 ml of cell culture was taken once from each bioreactor at an interval of every five days. The cell suspensions were filtered and washed several times with distilled water for the measurement of cell weights (fresh and dry weights). The culture supernatants were used for analysis residual sugar, using HPLC by following analytical procedures described by Zhang and Zhong, (1997) and Woragidbum-rang et al., (2001). The electrical conductivity was from the exhausted medium using conductivity meter Wiss-teelm-werkstalten model LF-54 (WTW GmbH, Wielhalm, Germany). Fig. 1.

Determination of ginsenoside content Ginsenoside (saponin) content was determined by HPLC, and the details have been described elsewhere (Furuya and Yoshikawa, 1987; William and John, 1996). IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Effect of oxygen concentration on cell growth Fig. 2 shows the growth kinetics of P. ginseng cells in 4 l balloon type bioreactors as influenced by four different levels of oxygen supply. The cell growth and biomass accumulation is gradually increased with lapse of time and optimum biomass accumulation reached after 25 days. Similar growth kinetics pattern was reported in P. notoginseng in shake flask, centrifugal impeller bioreactor and turbine reactors cultures (Zhong et al., 1999). The maximum fresh weight with the supply of 20.8% oxygen (control) was 267 g l -1 and corresponding dry weight was 11.5 g l -1 (Fig. 2A-B). It was found that optimum accumulation of fresh (316 g l -1 ) and dry biomass (12.8 g l - 1 ) was with the supply 40% oxygen in the bioreactors. The biomass accumulation comparatively declined with the increase in oxygen concentration to 50% (255 g l -1 FW and 9.0 g l -1 DW).
