The bioactive compounds of plants have world-wide applications in
pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food industry with a huge market.
In this book, a group of active researchers have addressed on the
most recent advances in plant cell and organ cultures for the
production of biomass and bioactive compounds using bioreactors.
Tremendous efforts have been made to commercialize the production
of plant metabolites by employing plant cell and organ cultures in
bioreactors. This book emphasizes on the fundamental topics like
designing of bioreactors for plant cell and organ cultures, various
types of bioreactors including stirred tank, airlift,
photo-bioreactor, disposable bioreactor used for plant cell and
organ cultures and the advantages and disadvantages of bioreactor
cultures. Various strategies for biomass production and metabolite
accumulation have been discussed in different plant systems
including Korean/Chinese ginseng, Siberian ginseng, Indian ginseng,
Echinacea, St. John's wort, Noni, Chinese licorice, Caterpillar
fungus and microalgae. Researches on the industrial application of
plant cells and organs with future prospects as well as the
biosafety of biomass produced in bioreactors are also described.
The topics covered in this book, such as plant cell and organ
cultures, hairy roots, bioreactors, bioprocess techniques, will be
a valuable reference for plant biotechnologists, plant biologists,
pharmacologists, pharmacists, food technologists, nutritionists,
research investigators of healthcare industry, academia, faculty
and students of biology and biomedical sciences. The multiple
examples of large-scale applications of cell and organ cultures
will be useful and significant to industrial transformation and
real commercialization.
