Methods, modelling and applications of gel immobilisation and micro-encapsulation of living
cells are reviewed. These two methods are most frequently used as they allow for excellent …

This review deals with the production of high-value secondary metabolites including
pharmaceuticals and food additives through plant cell cultures, shoot cultures, root cultures …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the state of the art of plant cell biotechnology for
the production of commercially important alkaloids. Plant cell and tissue culture methods …

Plant cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon were carried out to produce shikonin by in
situ extraction and cell immobilization in calcium alginate bead in shake flask cultures. In situ …

The enormous versatility of plants has continued to provide the impetus for the development
of plant tissue culture as a commercial production strategy for secondary metabolites …

The production characteristics for Taxol (paclitaxel) using free and immobilized cells of
Taxus cuspidata were investigated in a perfusion culture bioreactor. Although the cell growth …

To be economically feasible, production of most secondary metabolites by plant-cell culture
requires high cell densities. In standard reactor configurations such as stirred-tank and airlift …

The recent literature on the modeling and control of anaerobic wastewater treatment
processes is reviewed. An example from the author's personal work is used to describe how …

A suspension culture of Catharanthus roseus grown in shake flasks was placed in a
bioreactor containing production medium. After 6, 9, and 12 days, samples were taken and …

Both freely suspended cells and immobilized cultures of Spirulina platensis, a blue-green
alga, biotransformed exogenously fed codeine, an opium alkaloid, to morphine. The external …
