The relationship between proliferation and metabolism of four leukemia cell lines (BALL-1, JOK-1, Jurkat, and MOLT-4) in batch culture was studied. The maximum cell density (1.5-2.3 x 10(6) cells/ml) without change of medium was observed on days 6-8 of cultivation. At the same time, the original concentration of glucose in the medium (10 mmol/l) fell to 3.5-4 mmol/l. While BALL-1 and MOLT-4 cells, on day 4 of cultivation, converted 82% of glucose into lactate, on day 7 this value was 50%, or there was no lactate production (MOLT-4), respectively. On the other hand, the values of the coefficient of glycolysis showed that Jurkat and JOK cells converted also other compounds into lactate. Part of the utilized glutamine was employed by all four cell lines: 1. as a precursor of glutamic acid, and 2. as a source of energy. BALL-1 and JOK-1 cells converted part of arginine into ornithine. At the time when the proliferation of the cells ceased, the level of ammonia reached a toxic concentration of 2.0-3.6 mmol/l. Since these cell lines utilized only a part of carbon and nitrogen sources in the medium, it was suggested that the final cell density was limited by a growth inhibitor (i.e. ammonia) and not by a lack of nutrients.
