Abstract

The culture of insect cells is currently done using different media specifically developed for these cells (among them, IPL-41, Grace's, and TC-100). The growth of a Sf9 cell line was studied in each of these media, and IPL-41 showed the best results. Nevertheless, this medium contains various carbohydrates as carbon and energy sources, and this fact supposes a complication for the monitoring of the culture. In order to make possible the control of the sugar exhaustion, its formulation was simplified to a unique saccaride source, as it was seen that one of this nutrients was sufficient to enable an efficient growth of the cells.
