Production of the Anticarsia gemmatalis multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus in serum-free suspension cultures of the saUFL-AG-286 cell line in stirred reactor and airlift reactor

► Serum-free saUFL-AG-286 suspension cultures in airlift and stirred reactors. ► AgMNPV replicates in saUFL-AG-286 serum-free suspension cultures in bioreactors. ► The production of budded virus and occlusion bodies differs in both reactors. ► AgMNPV replication in airlift reactor tends to produce high yield of occlusion bodies. ► AgMNPV replication in stirred reactor produce high yield of budded virus.
