Abstract
A cell culture system was devised for muscle cell of Macrobrachium nipponense in the study. The juvenile and adult shrimps were held in laboratory aquaria with penicillin 1000 IU/ml and streptomycin 1000 µg/ml for 12–24 hours. Cell cultures were established in medium 199 supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, 1 g/L glucose, 5.2 g/L NaCl, 1.43 g/L CaCl2, 0.05 g/L MgCl2, 100 IU/mL penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin. Fibroblast-like cells were passaged up to three times and survived for 54 days. The results showed the optimum for subculture in vitro was in medium 199 with pH 7.6. Moreover, basal medium supplemented with Zn2+ 60 µg/L could enhance the growth of the muscle cells. It was found that better results for cell culture would be obtained more easily with juvenile shrimps caught in spring than adults in summer or autumn; and shrimps caught within 12 hours after ecdysis could grow much better than the intermoult shrimps.
