Question

Cell suspension cultures are grown in

• A. Semisolid media
• B. Liquid media
• C. Solid media
• D. Gaseous media

Hint:

• Liquid media Ideal for suspension cultures due to free movement of cells.
• Solid/Semisolid media Used for adherent or callus cultures.
• Gaseous media Not applicable for cell suspension cultures.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Cell suspension cultures involve cells growing freely in a liquid medium, allowing for uniform nutrient distribution and easy scaling. Solid or semisolid media are used for other types of cultures (e.g., callus cultures), while gaseous media are not standard for cell suspensions. \[ \boxed{\text{Liquid media}} \]
