Abstract: The content of crude oil produced by Euphorbia characias calli vary significantly with the basal medium used. Contrarily to what occurs with in nature growing plants, either calli or suspended cells from this species show a positive correlation between biomass growth and specific crude oil production. Heterotrophic suspended cells from Euphorbia characias at growth exponential phase revealed crude oil contents of 4–5% of dry weight, similar to those found in nature Spring growing plants of this species.
