If the culture is kept in stationary phase for a prolonged period, the cells may die. Why?
a) due to the time taken for doubling of cell number
b) duration of a cell generation is too large, depending mainly on the plant species.
c) stationary phase is forced on the culture by a depletion of the nutrients
d) due to an accumulation of cellular wastes
