Potato (Solamum tuberosum 'Dejima') plantlets were investigated on culture type and initial quantity of inoculation in bioreactor and survival rate by hydroponics for mass production. rode stems (1 to 1.5cm in length) of potato plantlets multiplied in vitro were grown for 3 weeks in liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with sucrose 30 g L-1. When plantlets (80-node inoculation) were raised in 10L balloon type bubble (BB) bioreactor, the healthiest growth of plantlets was obtained from explants cultured in ebb & flow culture with medium supplied periodically 12 times per day. The suitable inoculation quantity of 20L BB bioreactor was 120 pieces of stem segments (mean 2.2g fresh weight) in ebb & flow culture. Number of nodal shoot was eight on the average. In controlled culture room, survival rate of plantlets at 7 days after stem cutting was above 70% when they were acclimatized by hydroponics grown in deep flow and solid medium culture. The highest survival rate of the stem cutting plantlets was in nutrient solution adjusted to EC 1.4dS·m-1. Stem cutting plantlets through one culture could be obtained 670~900, when plantlets were grown in ebb & flow culture during 3 weeks using a 20L bioreactor with initial 120 pieces of nodal segments. 11 is possible In do mass production of seedlings cultured in bioreactor and hydroponics.

For rapid production of freesia ‘Shiny Gold’ shoots by using a bioreactor, several culture conditions were investigated. Young shoots (< 1 ㎝) obtained from freesia corm section in vitro were used as plant materials for this experiment. As a basic experimental environment, 20 young shoots were inoculated into a 5 L balloon type bubble reactor which contained 1 L 1/2 strength MS medium supplemented with 30 g sucrose (3%), and the aeration was 0.1 vvm (vessel volumes per minute). The bioreactors were placed in a growth room with 23℃ temperature, 60% relative humidity and 60 μmol·m-2·s-1 light condition (16 h/8 h, day/night). The concentrations of MS media were set with 1/4, 1/2, 1 strength, medium volume 10, 20, 40%, sucrose concentration 3, 6, 9%, and aeration 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 vvm. After 4 weeks of cultivation, the growth indexes including the fresh and dry weight, and plant height were evaluated. At the same time, the consumption, pH, and EC of medium were estimated 4 weeks after incubating. The best results were achieved when 40 young shoots were incubated in a bioreactor in which 1 L of 1/2 strength MS medium supplemented with 6% sucrose was used for the rapid production of freesia shoots. The shoots were 17 cm in plant height and 1.0 g in fresh weight only 4 weeks after incubation which could be a good plant material suitable for corm enlargement i

In this paper, we describe the development of a bioreactor for a cell-culture experiment on the International Space Station (ISS). The bioreactor is an experimental device for culturing mouse muscle cells in a microgravity environment. The purpose of the experiment was to assess the impact of microgravity on the muscles to address the possibility of longterm human residence in space. After investigation of previously developed bioreactors, and analysis of the requirements for microgravity cell culture experiments, a bioreactor design is herein proposed that is able to automatically culture 32 samples simultaneously. This reactor design is capable of automatic control of temperature, humidity, and culture-medium injection rate; and satisfies the interface requirements of the ISS. Since bioreactors are vulnerable to cell contamination, the medium-circulation modules were designed to be a completely replaceable, in order to reuse the bioreactor after each experiment. The bioreactor control system is designed to circulate culture media to 32 culture chambers at a maximum speed of 1 ml/min, to maintain the temperature of the reactor at 36±1°C, and to keep the relative humidity of the reactor above 70%. Because bubbles in the culture media negatively affect cell culture, a de-bubbler unit was provided to eliminate such bubbles. A working model of the reactor was built according to the new design, to verify its performance, and was used to perform a cell culture experiment that confirmed the feasibility of this device.

생물반응기에서 배양 수확한 신초의 발근과 순화조건을 알기 위하여 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 배양배지는 MS 기본배지의 농도를 반으로 줄이고 아가 농도를 1.2%로 하는 것이 신초의 발근과 순화에 유리하였다. 여과막이 부착된 배양병에서 신초를 생육시키는 것이 밀폐된 배양병에서 생육시킨 것보다 생육이 양호하고 생존율도 높았다. 배지에 paclobutrazol을 0.3-0.4mg/l로 처리한 경우 신초의 발근과 생육이 양호하였다.

지황 기내 식물체의 줄기 조직을 재료로 생물반응기에서 부정아 발생 과정을 통하여 기내 종묘를 생산하기 위해 본 실험을 수행하였다. 공기부양형 생물반응기가 교반형에 생물반응기의비해 신초 형성에 유리하였다. 2.5L 규모의 생물반응기에서 적절한 배양 밀도는 배지 1.5L에 시료 50g(줄기절편 90개)이었고, 이 때 공기의 주입량은 0.5 v.v.m으로 조절하는 것이 효과적이었다. 신초의 생산 효율을 높이기 위해 배지에 pH 완충제인 MES를 첨가한 결과, 생성된 신초의 수가 증가하였다. 유리화 억제제를 5g/1의 농도로 배지에 첨가하였을 경우 신초의 유리화 현상이 뚜렷하게 억제됨과 동시에 신초의 형성도 증가되었다.

본 실험은 생물반응기를 이용한 현삼 종묘의 기내생산과 기내 발근에 관여하는 요인을 검토하여 추후 종묘의 건전한 생육과 안정적 생산에 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 얻고자 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 생물반응기에서 현삼 배양은 MS 기본배지의 NH4NO 양을 1/4 로 줄여 413mg/ l 의 농도로 처리하고 6주간 배양하는 것이 신초의 유도에 유리하였다. 2. 생물반응기 배양시 신초의 형성과 생장에는 NH4NO3를 413mg/ l로줄인 MS 배지가 유리하였다. 3. 배지량 1.5L 의 생물반응기에서 줄기 절편의 접종량이 300개 이상일 경우 기내 식물체가 과밀화 되어 신초의 생육이 저해되고, 생물반응기 내부 및 배지 위로 노출된 신초는 괴사되었다. 따라서 신초의 생체중이 무거우면서도 신초수를 많게 하기 위해서는 적정 접종량을 300개체로 하는것이 유리하였다. 4. 신초의 발근 수와 길이생장에는 IBA 0.05mg/ l 가 효과적이었다. 5. 생물반응기에서 6주간 배양하는 것이 신초의 생육이 정상적으로 되었으며 또한 이들 신초에서 발근과 뿌리의 발육에도 유리하였다.
