Yields of P. falciparum in intraerythrocytic in vitro cultures were maximized when extracellular pH was maintained between 7.2 and 7.45, and extracellular lactate was kept below 12 mM. Host erythrocytes metabolized 4.6 .+-. 1.5 .mu.M glucose/109 RBC[red blood cell]/24 h and produced 7.9 .+-. 1.8 .mu.M lactate/109 RBC/24 h. Asynchronous parasite cultures used 122 .+-. 34 .mu.M glucose/109 parasitized RBC/24 h and produced 143 .+-. 47 .mu.M lactate/109 parasitized RBC/24 h. Synchronous cultures that were 80-100% ring forms after 2 h in culture exhibited significantly lower glycolysis per 109 parasitized RBC than cultures that were 0-25% ring forms after 24 h. The percent of glucose utilization accounted for by lactate production by parasites was significantly less than that of uninfected erythrocytes. These optimum ranges and metabolic rates can be used in the development of parasite culture techniques.
