Abstract
The influence of phosphate on the medium-induced formation of cinnamoyl putrescines in cell cultures of Nicotiana tabcum was investigated. Phosphate added to a phosphate-free production medium was completely accumulated in the cells within 24h after inoculation at initial concentrations up to 2 mM. At higher concentrations phosphate was partly accumulated with an intracellular saturation at approx. 0.65 mmol/g dr. wt. equivalent to approx. 45 mM intracellular concentration. Enhanced activities of phenylalanine ammonialyase and increased product levels of cinnamoyl putrescines, induced by cell transfer into phosphatefree medium were suppressed similarly at initial phosphate concentrations of 0.02–0.5 mM. At the same time growth was stimulated.
