- Abstract
Therefore, Maassoumi et al. (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11240-022-02253-0) developed cell suspensions as an alternative source of bioactive compounds of interest and examined the impact of selenium on the production of gum tragacanth and secondary metabolites (phenolic and saponin compounds). Examples included an increased genistein production due to the addition of I Rhizobium rhizogenes i elicitors and of diosgenin production by I Escherichia coli i elicitors, while fungal elicitors as I Aspergillus niger i increased thiophene production and I Botrytis i sp I . i sanguinarine production. Plants synthesize a wide spectrum of specialized and often complex secondary metabolites (aka specialized metabolites), whose structures are sometimes difficult to reproduce synthetically. One of the seven hairy root lines selected exhibited a sphaeralcic acid content 440-fold higher than that found in I S. angustifolia i wild plants and also much higher than sphaeralcic acid production by I S. angustifolia i cell suspensions in flasks or in a stirred tank bioreactor.
