Abstract
The amount of glucose consumed by chick embryo fibroblasts in primary culture is strongly influenced by the presence of bicarbonate ion in the culture medmum. Cells grown on glucose at physiologic concentration (5.5 mm) and in the absence of bicarbonate ion have a reduced rate of glucose utilization when compared to their counterparts cultivated in medium containing the usual 25 mM bicarbonate. The presence or absence of bicarbonate is without effect on chick embryo fibroblast proliferation over a 6βday growth period. Both lactic acid accumulation per mole of glucose consumed and the utilization of glutamine increase as a function of bicarbonate ion in the growth medium.
