Popis: | The response of Taxus baccata (PC2) to basic manipulations of culture conditions is described. Suspension cultures of Taxus baccata (PC2) were maintained at 25°C on a modified B5 medium with two-week transfers. Under these conditions, no taxol® is formed. However, if the cells are left in the same medium for 7 or more additional days, taxol is produced and released (ca. 90%) into the extracellular medium. Levels as high as 13 mg 1−1 extracellular taxol were achieved in shake flask cultures and taxol was the primary taxane formed representing between 50 and 80% of total taxane in the medium. The cells are sensitive to changes in culture conditions and cultures cycle through periods of high (13 mg 1−1) and low ( |
