Summary
Ginseng (Panax ginseng) embryogenic tissues were cultured in three types of reactors and the ginsenoside productivities in these tissues were compared. As a result, the saponin productivity was the best when an airlift reactor was used, and more than twice of that when a paddle or internal turbine reactor was used. The tissues grew 9 fold during 42 days, and the ginsenoside pattern resembled that of ginseng leaves.
