Abstract The in vitro propagation technique via temporary immersion bioreactors is a tool that, through the culture in a liquid medium, allows an increase in the efficiency of seedling production. Several researches with the strawberry crop have shown greater efficiency of the system compared to the conventional process of micropropagation in solid medium. In this sense, the objective herein was to establish a protocol of multiplication and rooting of the ‘Pircinque’ strawberry, in temporary immersion bioreactors. Two distinct and independent studies were carried out, characterized by the multiplication and rooting stages of strawberry explants, newly introduced and registered in Brazil. Two culture media (MS and KNOP) were studied and, as a control treatment, the growth of the explants in solid culture medium was evaluated with the addition of 5 g L-1 of agar. Different immersion times of the culture medium were explored: five or eight times a day, for 15 minutes. The study was composed of the culture medium and immersion time factors, as well as the control (solid) treatment. It was verified that the use of temporary immersion bioreactors system is an efficient technique for the multiplication and rooting of explants of strawberry cv. Pircinque, when compared to the conventional method of micropropagation with the use of solid culture medium, making it possible to optimize the production of seedlings in biofactories. The MS liquid medium, in contact with explants of ‘Pircinque’ strawberry five times a day, increased the growth of the aerial part and the root system.

Taro is important for its nutritional content, medicinal use, and bioethanol production. The aim of the present study was to compare different semi-automated bioreactors (SABs) during in vitro multiplication of C. esculenta. The SABs used were temporary immersion bioreactors (TIBs), SETIS™ bioreactors and ebb-and-flow bioreactors; semi-solid culture medium was used as a control treatment. At 30 d of culture, different developmental variables, determination of chlorophyll, stomatal content, and survival percentage during acclimatization were evaluated. SABs increased the shoot multiplication rate relative to the semi-solid medium; however, the SETIS™ bioreactor showed the highest shoot production, with 36 shoots per explant, and the highest chlorophyll content. The stomatal index was higher in the semi-solid medium compared to the SABs, while the percentage of closed stomata was higher in the SABs than in the semi-solid culture medium. The survival rate during acclimatization showed no differences among the culture systems assessed, obtaining survival rates higher than 99%. In conclusion, the SETIS™ bioreactor showed the highest multiplication rate; however, other bioreactor alternatives are available for semi-automation and cost reduction for micropropagation of C. esculenta.

In this study, micropropagation and rooting of ‘Tuzcu 31-31 sour orange’ and ‘C-35 citrange’ citrus rootstocks were conducted by comparing with Plantform temporary immersion bioreactor system and traditional solid culture. Murashige and Skoog Medium (MS) and Woody Plant Medium (WPM) supplemented with 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0, 1.0, 2.0 mg L-1), Kinetin (KIN) (0, 0.5, 1.0 mg L-1) and 2-Isopentenyl adenine (2IP) (0, 1.0, 2.0 mg L-1) were used in solid culture experiments. For solid culture rooting experiments, MS, ½ MS and WPM media supplemented with different concentrations of 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg L-1) and Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg L-1) were used. In both genotypes, the best micropropagation and rooting results were obtained from MS medium containing 2.0 mg L-1 BAP and ½ MS nutrient medium containing 0.5 mg L-1 NAA, respectively. Plantform bioreactor system was studied with the best medium content determined for micropropagation and rooting. As a result of the study, Plantform system gave better results in terms of plant quality in the micropropagation medium for both genotypes. Plantform system in rooting medium was found to be more advantageous than solid culture medium. As a result of the screening with SSR markers, it was determined that there was no somaclonal variation in the plants micropropagated and rooted in Plantform system.

To enhance plant camptothecin (CPT) production in vitro, 5-month-old Ophiorrhiza ridleyana Craib plant cultures were treated with solutions of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) dissolved in ethanol, which were applied to the surface of the solid culture medium. It was demonstrated that the maximum CPT content in the tissue-cultured plants was achieved after 12 h elicitation with 50 µM MeJA. The mean CPT contents in roots and stems were 50.8 and 67.0 µg/g DW, respectively, which were approximately 1.8- and 2.6-fold higher, respectively, than those of the control. However, MeJA elicitation showed no significant effect on CPT accumulation in O. ridleyana leaves. Moreover, it was found that direct electric current (DC) stimulation also significantly increased CPT accumulation in O. ridleyana. The treatment with DC at 20 mA for 3 min of stimulation enhanced 3-fold the CPT content in roots, stems, and leaves to 41.9, 36.0 and 19.6 µg/g DW, respectively, which were approximately 1.5-, 1.7- and 1.4-fold higher, respectively, as compared to those of the control. The results demonstrate that preharvest treatment by MeJA elicitation and electrical stimulation can be beneficial for secondary metabolite production of CPT in tissue-culture plants of O. ridleyana.

The influence of light and other environmental conditions on the sporophore production was tested for Pholiota aurivella in the laboratory. Among different light sources tested, only sunlight, through the window, led to the production of complete sporophores in culture. The light stimulus must be given within the first 14 days following mycelium implantation. The number and size of sporophores increase with increasing nutrient concentration in the solid culture medium up to a level of 7% malt extract. Larger containers plugged with cotton are more favorable for the production of sporophores of normal size than smaller, hermetically closed containers.

AbstractMany populations of high-mountainous relic dioecious willows in Central Europe only consist of female individuals and are thus limited in their reproductive potential. We completed micropropagation experiments with shoot apexes and nodal segments of common and endangered willow (Salix) species, which can help to reintroduce autochthonous genotypes to their natural sites. Until recently, cultivation of green young shoot apexes of S. alba and S. lapponum showed the highest percentage of regeneration. We successfully applied the two-times-sterilisation due to high contamination of natural explants. The OK medium was the most efficient culture medium. In vitro propagation of willows with unisexual catkins, anther and ovule cultures were tested and optimised. Isolated anthers were cultivated on selected media and then microcallus and calluses of S. caprea and calluses of S. viminalis were formed on the A medium. Among various tested and optimised media for the ovule culture, the CP medium was the most efficient one. In this case, only the microcalluses of S. viminalis were observed. We developed biotechnological procedures that can be useful in conserving fragmented populations of high-mountainous willows.

AbstractIn this work, fluorescentBacillus subtilis(B. subtilis) cells were developed as probes for imaging applications and to explore behaviorial interaction betweenB. subtilisandStaphylococcus aureus(S. aureus). A novel biological strategy of coupling intracellular biochemical reactions for controllable biosynthesis of CdSe quantum dots by livingB. subtiliscells was demonstrated, through which highly luminant and photostable fluorescentB. subtiliscells were achieved with good uniformity. With the help of the obtained fluorescentB. subtiliscells probes,S. aureuscells responded to co-culturedB. subtilisand to aggregate. The degree of aggregation was calculated and nonlinearly fitted to a polynomial model. Systematic investigations of their interactions implied thatB. subtiliscells inhibit the growth of neighboringS. aureuscells, and this inhibition was affected by both the growth stage and the amount of surroundingB. subtiliscells. Compared to traditional methods of studying bacterial interaction between two species, such as solid culture medium colony observation and imaging mass spectrometry detection, the procedures were more simple, vivid, and photostable due to the efficient fluorescence intralabeling with less influence on the cells’ surface, which might provide a new paradigm for future visualization of microbial behavior.
