Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to compositions and methods of plant, fungal and bacterial cell culture that can be effectively utilized for three-dimensional plant, fungal, and bacterial cell growth and production of bioactive compounds of interest. The culture methods employ a microgravity environment such that rapid establishment and expansion of cells into tissue constructs occurs influencing expression of biological macromolecules and biopharmaceuticals. The present invention is further directed to a method for the in vitro cultivation of plant, fungal, and bacterial cells in a liquid nutrient medium in modeled microgravity with potential for large scale manipulations.
