High yields of extracellular polysaccharide were obtained from cell suspension cultures of root, hypocotyl, and cotyledon of bush bean. Hydrolysates of the three polysaccharide samples contained the same sugars: galacturonic acid, galactose, glucose, mannose, arabinose, and xylose. The relative amounts of the six sugars were not the same in the hydrolysates from the three sources. The extracellular polysaccharide was produced at all times during the culture cycle. Semilogarithmic plots of increase in cell number, and production of extracellular polysaccharide, indicate that production per cell decreased during the logarithmic phase, and increased at the onset of the stationary phase. Production of extracellular polysaccharide, per culture and per cell, was much higher than that reported for other cell cultures of higher plants.

Cotyledon cell suspension cultures of bush bean required 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for growth. Kinetin was not essential but was required for optimum growth. Both of the regulators were required for optimum production of extracellular polysaccharide (EP).The two regulators had different effects upon the production of three polysaccharide fractions (two pectins and a neutral polysaccharide) isolated from the EP at various stages of the culture cycle.The neutral sugar composition of the pectin fractions from all treatments, including regulator treatments, showed considerable fluctuation during the culture cycle and could be changed markedly by regulator treatments. Changes in composition of the neutral polysaccharide were slight. As a consequence of these results it is now possible to obtain cells differing in the nature of the systems synthesizing, or controlling the synthesis of, the polysaccharides.
