    Notes: Cell culture of Taxus cuspidata represents an alternative to whole plant extraction as a source of taxol and related taxanes. Feeding phenylalanine to callus cultures was previously shown to result in increased taxol yields, probably due to the involvement of this amino acid as a precursor for the N-benzoylphenylisoserine side chain of taxol. Inthis study, we have examined the effect of various concentrations of phenylalanine, benzoic acid, N-benzoylglycine, serine, glycine, alanine, and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propionic acid on taxol accumulation in 2-year-old cell suspensions of Taxus cuspidata, cell line FCL1F, and in developing callus cultures of T. cuspidata. All compounds tested were included in media at stationary phase (suspensions) or after the period of fastest growth (calli). Alanine and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propionicacid were tested only in callus cultures and did not affect taxol accumulation. Significant increases or trends toward increases in taxol accumulationin callus and suspensions were observed in the presence of phenylalanine, benzoic acid, N-benzoylglycine, serine, and glycine. The greatest increases in taxol accumulation were observed in the presence of various concentrations of phenylalanine (1 mM for callus; 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM for suspensions) and benzoic acid (0.2 and 1 mM for callus and 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM for suspensions). Increases in taxol yields of cell suspensions in the presence of the most effective precursors brought taxol amounts at stationary phase from 2 μg · g-1 to approximately 10 μg . g-1 of the extracted dry weight. The results are discussed in termsof possible implications to taxol biosynthesis and in terms of practical applications to large-scale cell culture systems for the production ofthis drug. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cell culture of Taxus cuspidata may represent an alternative to extraction of bark as a source of taxol and related taxanes. Cell suspensions of a cell line of T. cuspidata were grown for 44 days in shake flasks containing B5C2 medium. Throughout the growth cycle, fresh and dry weight accumulation, taxol yield on a dry weight basis, taxol accumulation in the medium, pH and pigmentation variation in the medium, as well as the uptake of sucrose, glucose, fructose, nitrate, and inorganic phosphate from the culture medium were examined. The results showed that the growth was relatively slow (doubling times of 17 and 20 days for fresh and dry weight, respectively), and taxol accumulation in the cells was non-growth related (higher in the stationary phase) and at relatively low levels (up to 4 μg/g of the extracted dry weight). Taxol concentration in the medium had two peaks: one during the early (0.4μg/mL) and another during the late (0.1-μg/mL) parts of the growth cycle. On a volumetric basis, the average total amount of taxol produced during the stationary phase (day 38) was 0.15 μg/mL, of which approximately 66% was in the medium and 34% was in the cells. Total carbohydrate uptake was closely associated with the increase in dry biomass. Sucrose was apparently extracellularly hydrolyzed after the first 6 days of culture; glucose was used before fructose. Nitrate was assimilated throughout the growth cycle, but phosphate was absorbed within the first week of culture. The pH variation showed an initial drop followed by a trend toward alkalinization for most of the growth period. Dark pigmentation in the medium increased progressively, particularly during the stationary phase. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
