MASS PRODUCTION OF SECONDARY METABOLITE IN PLANT CELL CULTURE BY TREATMENT OF SACCHARIDE MIXTURE IN MEDICUM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of producing secondary metabolites with a high yield using plant cell culture, and a medium for the production of secondary metabolites. More specifically, the method of the present invention is characterized in that the plant cell culture is conducted by adding a saccharide mixture to the culture medium as a carbon source, to increase the productivity of the secondary metabolites. For example, the present invention establishes the method of increasing the productivity of secondary metabolites and shortening the culture time by the use of the mixture of glucose and fructose in the plant cell culture, thereby contributing in producing useful secondary metabolites on an industrial scale using plant cell culture.
