ABSTRACT:
Living cells of plants, such as Thallophyta and Embryophyta are grown at an accelerated rate in a multi-medium hydroponics mixture consisting of a carbon dioxide gas impregnated inert, nonionic, non-aggressive, liquid medium which is non-miscible with water; and an aqueous hydroponic nutrient liquid medium; as compared to the single medium nutrient aqueous liquid medium.
The process consists of growing clone cells, or callus, in a mechanically mixed suspension of a nutrient hydroponic liquid, made up of water and selected soluble mineral nutrients; and supplementing the growing cells need of carbon, the principal cell mass, with carbon dioxide carried dissolved as a non-ionic gas in an inert, non-hypertonic, non-hypotonic liquid; rather than use of "sugar".
Mixing the nutrient aqueous hydroponic liquid and the inert carrier liquid provides not only the exchange of carbon dioxide to the cells, but receives from the cell and the aqueous liquid the cell evolved oxygen; thus expediting further the healthy growth of live plant cells.
Live plant clone cells are separated from the liquids, as product, and the liquids replenished for recycle use.
