Abstract
Phenylethanoid glycosides (PeG) are a class of polyphenols found in some plants that have pharmaceutical effects as anti-inflammatories and anti-oxidants. The presence of PeG (acteoside) in the aerial parts of Scrophularia striata Boiss. has been demonstrated. Considerable progress has been made using plant cell cultures to stimulate formation and accumulation of secondary metabolites. The present study optimized phenylethanoid production from shake flasks to bioreactor using a cell culture of S. striata. The optimal conditions for production of cell biomass by scale-up to a bioreactor were determined to be a pH of 4.8, air flow rate of 0.5–1.5 l min−1, and mixing speed of 110–170 rpm at 25 ± 1 °C in darkness. Growth parameters and PeG production were measured and compared with the results from the shake flasks. The results showed that cell biomass was high in the bioreactor (15.64 g l−1 DW) and in the shake flasks (14.16 g l−1 DW). The acteoside content in the bioreactor was 1404.20 μg g−1 DW, which is threefold higher than in the shake flasks (459.71 μg g−1 DW). The echinacoside concentration in the bioreactor was 1449.39 μg g−1, 1.36-fold lower than in the shake flasks (1973.03 μg g−1 DW). This study established an efficient way for production of acteoside, the major PeG, in a bioreactor.
