Detached wheat ears were grown, under lighted controlled conditions, in liquid culture media containing different concentrations of sucrose and amino acid. Higher levels of sucrose in the culture medium resulted in decreased transpiration, with large accumulations of soluble sugar in the bracts. The sugar accumulations led to decreased total and osmotic potentials of the bracts, but turgor was maintained or increased. The concentration of sucrose or nitrogen in the culture medium had no significant effect on the water or osmotic potentials of the grain. Soluble sugar concentrations in the grain were not affected by increasing the sucrose concentration in the culture medium. Increasing the nitrogen level in the culture medium led to increased concentrations of total nitrogen and non- protein nitrogen in the grain. Higher protein levels in the grain resulted in increased water content but no significant changes in the water potential of the grain. The grain was the strongest nitrogen sink within the ear and, within the grain, starch and protein synthesis were independent of each other. Proline accumulated in the bracts and to a lesser extent in the rachis in response to the accumulation of soluble sugars and nitrogen rather than to the low osmotic or total water potentials. Little proline accumulated in the grain and this was presumed to be due to translocation from other parts of the ear rather than to in situ synthesis.

Phytopathogenic fungi such as: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Rhizopus stolonifer were cultivated in three different liquid culture media: LCC (glucose 40 g L-1 , yeast extract 3 g L-1 ), LC2 (glucose 40 g L-1 , yeast extract 3 g L-1 and tryptone peptone 2 g L-1 ) and LC3 (glucose 40 g L-1 , yeast extract 3 g L-1 and tryptone peptone 10 g L-1 ) under pH of 5.5 for the production of mycelial biomass and exopolysaccharides (EPS). The liquid culture medium (LC3) used in cultivation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides showed the highest production of biomass (15.40 g L-1 ) and exopolysaccharides (3.40 g L-1 ). Exopolysaccharides (EPS) obtained from the liquid culture medium (LC3) of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides presented the highest absorption content of Zinc (56 mg g-1 ). The results presented that the exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides showed the greatest biosorbent capacity of Zinc (Zn) using the culture medium with the highest amount of tryptone peptone.

 Spirulina platensis merupakan mikroalga hijau biru yang mengandung nutrisi protein tinggi sehingga banyak digunakan sebagai pakan alami. Pertumbuhan dan kandungan protein mikroalga dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah pemberian makronutrien pada media kultur mikroalga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh pertumbuhan dan kandungan protein pada mikroalga S. platensis dengan pemberian konsentrasi nitrat yang berbeda. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak blok dengan tiga kali pengulangan. Perlakuan konsentrasi nitrat berbeda yang diberikan adalah 50 ppm, 100 ppm, dan 150 ppm. Perhitungan kepadatan dan pengukuran parameter kualitas air dilakukan setiap hari. Pemanenan dilakukan pada hari ke – empat. Kadar prorein dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode Kjedahl. Hasil penelitian pertumbuhan S. platensis menunjukkan nilai kepadatan sel S. platensis tertinggi pada hari ke – empat berada pada perlakuan C dengan konsentrasi nitrat 150 ppm (169,58 . 103 sel/mm3). Hasil analisis ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi nitrat berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan S. platensis (p < 0,05) namun perbedaan konsentrasi nitrat tidak berpengaruh pada kadar protein (p ≥ 0,05). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa konsentrasi nitrat yang ditambahkan pada media kultur S. platensis berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan S. platensis namun tidak berpengaruh pada kandungan proteinnya.  Protein Content of Spirulina platensis in Different Culture Media with Nitrate (KNO3) Concentration Spirulina platensis is green-blue microalgae that contain high protein nutrient and could be used as natural food. Growth and protein content of microalgae are influenced by several factors and one of those is giving macronutrient to microalgae’s culture medium. The purpose of this research is to compare the growth and protein content of the S. platensis with different nitrate consentrations.The research design used was a completely randomized block design with three repetitions. The different nitrate concentration treatments were 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150 ppm. Determination of density and water quality measurement parameters was done on daily basis. Spirulina platensis was harvested done on fourth day of culture. Protein levels were analyzed by Kjedahl method. The result of the S. platensis growth that the highest density on day fourth in C treatment with 150 ppm nitrate consentration (169,58 . 103 sel/mm3). The result of ANOVA analysis show that the concentration of nitrate affected on S. platensis growth (p < 0,05) but the difference of nitrate concentration wasn’t affected in protein analysis (p ≥ 0,05). Based on the result of this research, it can be concluded that the concentration of nitrate added to the S. platensis culture medium effectively and improved the growth of S. platensis but had no effect on the protein content.

Abstract Two species of Chlorophyceae, Ankistrodesmus gracilis and Haemotococcus pluvialis, were used to compare and evaluate the effect of sugarcane molasses as a carbon source. Highest cell density in the two microalgae culture media was obtained in commercial culture media (CHU12 and WC). During exponential growth (day 1 to day 10), high cell density in H. pluvialis was detected for E. crassipes culture medium ranging between 0.4 x 105 cells mL-1 and 1.7 x 105 cells mL-1. Culture media were fundamental for growth under mixotrophic cultivation. Sugarcane molasses showed different results for the two microalgae with regard to growth performance, lipid and protein levels. Rates were high for H. pluvialis except lipid at the end of the experiment. In fact, A. gracilis presented almost double the lipid levels. Sugarcane molasses may be an alternative carbon source in laboratory conditions.

Sucrose is a very important component in in vitro culture media, serving as a source of carbon and energy. In this paper, the rooting and in vitro growth of Dendrobium nobile Lindl (Orchidaceae) were studied using different sucrose concentrations (0 g L-1; 5 g L-1; 10 g L-1; 20 g L-1; 30 g L-1 and 60 g L-1), in a modified MS medium containing half the regular concentration of macronutrients at pH 5.8. Greater increases in plant height (4.21±0.6 cm) and high seedling multiplication (1:4) were observed in the 60 g L-1 sucrose treatment, even without the addition of plant hormones. Sucrose concentration in the culture medium did not influence in vitro plant rooting.

Detached wheat heads (8 days post anthesis) were grown in liquid culture using media containing various nitrogen sources at different concentrations. Grain development in terms of dry weight, nitrogen, starch and protein were equivalent whether the nitrogen was supplied as either a complete spectrum of amino acids or as glutamine, asparagine or ammonium nitrate. Where the concentration of nitrogen in the culture medium was varied while maintaining the sucrose concentration constant, no variations were observed in the rate of grain dry weight or starch accumulation. Nitrogen per grain and percentage grain nitrogen increased with increasing concentrations of nitrogen in the culture medium. Percentage grain nitrogen was higher in the 'high protein' cultivar Timgalen than in the 'low protein' cultivar WW 15 at equivalent nitrogen concentrations in the culture medium, but differences in percentage proteins were only small.

The major amount of riboflavin is formed when the mycelia reach a mature stage and the major carbon source is almost exhausted. While the riboflavin is being synthesized in larger quantities, the mycelial dry weight, the total nitrogen, and total lipid content decrease. The mobilized cell reserves may be those components which call upon the biosynthesis of the major amount of the vitamin. At the stage of growth where glucose is almost completely utilized an increase in the excretion of pyruvic and lactic acids from the mycelia into the culture medium occurs. This may partly explain the increase in the acidity of the culture medium at that stage.

Abstract The in vitro propagation of orchids is the only commercial large scale technique to obtain healthy and high quality plantlets with clonal origin. The use of new technologies in plant tissue culture systems could lead to efficiency increases and costs reduction of micropropagation systems. The main actual micropropagation system is based on semi-solid culture media solidified using agar, followed by sterilization using autoclaving, and cultivation under photomixotrophic conditions using sucrose as main source of energy to plant in vitro culture. We proposed in this study the use of new micropropagation system using chemical sterilized liquid medium using polyurethane foam as support and LED source of light in rooting stage of Miltassia ‘Shelobie Tolkien’. Thus, the objective of this research was to test different concentrations of sucrose, comparing the conventional semi-solid agar-based culture medium (control) and the use of liquid medium with polyurethane foam support. The following sucrose concentrations were used: 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 g L-1. The experiment was conducted in a 2 × 5 factorial, in a completely randomized design with ten replications each over a total period of 105 days of cultivation. The chemical sterilization using ClO2 showed 100% of decontamination in all treatments. The use of liquid media with polyurethane foam showed better results than plants cultivated in agar medium, and can be used for replace agar-based for orchid in vitro rooting.

An influence of different sucrose concentrations in the culture media on the photosynthetic parameters, photosynthetic apparatus related genes expression, oxidative processes and acclimation of grape plants cultured in vitro was examined in this article. An increase of the sucrose concentration in the culture media resulted in a reduced expression of several photosynthetic genes. The most effective functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus was discovered by a decreased amount of surcose in culture media. An increase of the sucrose concentration in the culture media disrupts pigments synthesis, particularly carotenoids, which can be a cause of the secondary oxidative stress formation and grape plants growth reduction during acclimation.

Dendrobium anosmum is one of natural orchids in Indonesia. Optimization of medium composition for orchid propagation through in vitro culture is necessary to enhance propagule multiplication capabilities and quality. This study was aimed to study the influence of concentration of coconut water in culture medium on in vitro growth and development of D. anosmum orchid species and to determine the optimal coconut water concentration in culture media.  The experiment were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and eight replications. The treatments consisted of the addition of coconut water with concentrations: 0 ml•l -1 (control), 50 ml•l-1, 100 ml•l-1 and 150 ml•l-1. The results showed that addition of coconut water in culture medium gave different effect on shoot growth and multiplication of D. anosmum orchids.  Coconut water concentration of 100 ml•l-1 was the best concentration for growth and multiplication of D. anosmum orchids, based on both shoots and roots growth, plantlet height and wet weight.
