Abstract
Phytolacca americana L. cultured cells were immobolized with calcium alginate. The pigment (betacianin) increased with an increase in the growth of the callus to 3 weeks. However, in the subsequent periods, the pigments decreased. It was observed that a part of the pigment was released from immobilized cells. It has become apparent that the calcium ion and magnecium ion had influence on the phenomenon
