For the enhancement of pigment production by red beet hairy roots, the effects of medium constituents on hairy root cultures were investigated in flasks. In a series of cultures using media with diluted medium components, it was found that phosphate was a key nutrient involved in pigment accumulation in the hairy roots, and that higher pigment contents in the roots were obtained at lower phosphate concentrations. In an 18 d batch culture using phosphate-free medium, the total amount of pigment production was 4.8 times than obtained in a control culture using normal MS medium with 1.25 mol/cubic meter phosphate.
