CHO-K1 no Gln
Cricetulus griseus
CHO-K1 8mM Gln was adapted to grow without glutamine, which normally is the main energy source. Despite the fact that these cells now only have glucose and small amounts of other amino acids as energy substrates, they grow to the same density at comparable speed, but produce less waste products. Apparently their metabolism is more efficient and they run through less empty metabolic cycles.
