Summary
Suspension cultures of carrot, soybean, tobacco, Black Mexican sweet corn, and photoautotrophic soybean have been successfully grown in stationary slurry culture. Cell colonies grew loosely and slowly in clumps which were easily dispersable, increasing in size only 4–5 fold by 48 days, which facilitated subculture.
