Abstract:
Objective: To explore the effect of different culture conditions on protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium candidum in bioreactor culture. Methods: Inoculation quantity, ventilation, sucrose concentration, and light intensity were taken to carry out the single factor experiment design. Biomass was determined by drying method, polysaccharide content by phenol-sulfuric acid method, and SPSS16.0 software was used for data analysis. Results: Under the bioreactor culture, the nutrient medium components for the PLBs proliferation of D. candidum and polysaccharide accumulation were 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L NAA, 5% coconutmilk, and 3% sucrose, pH value was 6.0. The culture conditions, such as inoculation with 40 g/L, 15 μm pore porous nozzle, aeration volumes by 1.0 and 0.5 L/min used alternately, and photon flux of 2000 lx could improve the proliferation coefficient and polysaccharide contents of PLBs. Conclusion: Different culture conditions have the significant effect on the growth of PLBs and the accumulation of polysaccharide. Suitable culture conditions have the very important practic significance to the biomass of PLBs and main medicinal ingredient production of PLBs.
