PRODUCTION OF ANTHOCYANIN BY CULTURED CELL OF STATICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To mass-produce anthocyanin by culturing a statice-derived cell under a specified condition and extracting anthocyanin from the resultant cultured cell. CONSTITUTION:A statice-derived cell (preferably a cotyledon cell) is cultured on a solid culture medium containing an auxin and a cytokinin to form a callus. The resultant callus cell is cultured in a liquid culture medium containing an auxin and a cytokinin and anthocyanin is extracted from the resultant cultured cell. This method facilitates scale up of culture of a callus formed from a statice.
