To produce mass propagules of Oncidium 'Sugar Sweet', we tested the feasibility of producing protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) using 51 balloon type air-lift bioreactors, and selected an optimal culture medium for shooting and rooting in vitro. The results showed that liquid bioreactor cultures were more efficient for PLBs proliferation when compared to solid- and liquid-agitated flask cultures. The maximum PLBs biomass (326.3 g per bioreactor, RV) was obtained in the immersion bioreactor culture, with the growth ratio reaching 10.9 after 50 days of culture. This was obviously higher than the ebb and flood bioreactor culture. During bioreactor culture, sucrose and electric conductivity (EC) in the culture medium were negatively correlated with PLBs growth; the highest PLBs fresh and dry biomass was obtained 40 days after culture. An inoculation density of 20 g (FW) was optimal for PLBs growth in a 3 I working volume of 51 bioreactor. Furthermore. MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l(-1) BA for shooting and 0.5 mg l(-1) IBA for rooting was optimal during in vitro culture, the plantlets were successfully established in the potting substrate.
