Abstract:
An experimental system, in which gases of known composition were passed through flasks, was used to systematically study the effects of oxygen and carbon dioxide on plant cell growth. As expected, oxygen limiting conditions resulted in suppressed growth of Catharanthus roseus cultures. Oxygen limitations did not alter the amount of cell mass produced per gram of sugar consumed which suggests that the production of fermentative metabolites was limited. Varying levels of carbon dioxide were observed to have no effect on the growth rates of either C. roseus or Daucus carota cultures. The amount of C. roseus cell mass generated per gram of sugar consumed appeared to be slightly increased at higher carbon dioxide levels.
