Vapor-phase cultivation apparatus for continuous culture of vegetable tissue

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To culture a large amount of vegetable tissue, continuously, without damaging the tissue, by supplying a culture liquid to the vegetable tissue, and separating the excess culture liquid from the vegetable tissue dropped from the transfer means. CONSTITUTION:A culture liquid is applied continuously or intermittently to the vegetable tissue 100 on the transfer means 11, by spraying, scattering or dripping. The excess culture liquid is separated from the vegetable tissue by the separation means 13 placed under the front part of the transfer means 11. The large blocks in the dropping vegetable tissue are screened by the perforated plate 130, while small-sized blocks are transferred together with the culture liquid through the preforations and collected to the reservior 15 under the perforated plate. The small-sized blocks passed through the perforated plate 130 are recovered and recycled to the transfer means 11 as the seed. The vegetable tissue separated by the separation means 13 is discharged from the system as the final culture product by the discharging means 14.
