The effect of pH on the growth and carbohydrate metabolism of a lymphoblastoid cell line.
Glucose limited the maximum population density of the cell line Bri 8 over a wide range of pH values. Efficiency of glucose utilisation varied with pH and hence pH influenced maximum population density. Surprisingly the ratio of glucose consumed to lactic acid produced was not greatly influenced by pH.
