Growth pattern of the cell suspension cultures (OMC3,OMC7
and OMC9) and CPT production were recorded for a period of
35 days at a 5-day interval (Fig. 2). Growth started after
10 days and continued up to 30 days. Growth pattern of
OMC7 and OMC9 cell lines were similar with maximum
biomass and CPT production on the 30th day of incubation.
But in OMC3 cell line, maximum biomass and CPT production
was obtained on the 25th day of incubation.
