TL;DR: The growth behaviour of a Nigella damascena cell line cultivated in airlift fermenters in darkness as well as in ligth was investigated, and the UV absorption spectra of the yellow pigments show some similarities to the spectra known for thymoquinone.
Abstract: The growth behaviour of a Nigella damascena cell line cultivated in airlift fermenters in darkness as well as in ligth was investigated. Considerable variations were observed with regard to the morphology of the cells, the consumption of substrate and the content of yellow pigments. The UV absorption spectra of the yellow pigments show some similarities to the spectra known for thymoquinone.
