The short‐time effects of shear on suspended cells of Perilla frutescens were quantitatively analyzed by exposing the cells to a well‐defined flow field in a rotating drum reactor. It was found that both shear rate and shearing time significantly affected cell viability. The quantitative effects of shear on cell growth and the production of anthocyanin, a secondary metabolite, by the cell cultures were further investigated in a series of batch cultivations using a 5‐L plant cell bioreactor with a marine impeller. The results indicated that there was an optimum range of shear rate; i.e., an average shear rate of 20 to 30 s −1 or an impeller tip speed of 5 to 8 dm/s, which maximized all the values of the following parameters: the specific growth rate, the maximum cell concentration, the (specific) production and productivity of anthocyanin, and the cell and anthocyanin yields. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
