When alginate (1.0 g/l) was added to Wasabia japonica cell culture, cell growth was slightly inhibited (11–17%) but both the chitinase production and the specific chitinase productivity increased. Similar results were also observed when chitosan (1.0 g/l), which is well known as an elicitor, was added to the culture. These results suggest that alginate act as a kind of elicitor. Promotion effect of alginate on chitinase production was more remarkable when low molecular weight alginate (oligomer) was used. In comparison with free cells, addition of alginate to W. japonica protoplast culture resulted to 3 times increase in the chitinase productivity.
