Abstract

Abstract Two cell lines of Tabernaemontana divaricata derived from the same suspension culture were compared with respect to their biotransformation capacity. One is a high indole alkaloid-producing culture which accumulated mainly O-acetylvallesamine. The other cell line biosynthesizes terpenoid indole alkaloids in much lower amounts. Both cell lines were cultured in medium containing either conopharyngine, coronaridine, vobasine or ...
