Enhancement of shikonin production in single‐ and two‐phase suspension cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon cells using low‐energy ultrasound

Lidong Lin; Jianyong Wu Biotechnology and Bioengineering 2002. doi:10.1002/bit.10180

Other claims from this paper (9)

Intervention effect Low-power ultrasound exposure significantly stimulated shikonin biosynthesis in Lithospermum erythrorhizon cells.
Intervention effect Ultrasound at certain doses increased the volumetric shikonin yield by about 60%-70%.
Intervention effect Ultrasound exposure increased the shikonin excreted from the cells from 20% to 65%-70%.
Intervention effect Combined ultrasound with in situ solvent extraction or two-phase culture increased the volumetric shikonin yield more than two- to threefold.
Intervention effect Increasing the number of ultrasound exposures usually had negative effects on shikonin yield.
Intervention effect Increasing the number of ultrasound exposures slightly stimulated shikonin excretion.
Intervention effect Ultrasound stimulated phenylalanine ammonia lyase and p-hydroxybenzoic acid geranyltransferase.
Mechanism The ultrasound stimulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis is attributed to defense responses of the cells to mechanical stress.
Mechanism Ultrasound-induced increase in cell membrane permeability partly explains the increased shikonin excretion.
