FIG 3.

The influence of glucose consumption was assessed for lactate production and percent viability. Immediately after transformation, schistosomula were cultured in glucose-free medium (DMEM; 0 mM glucose) or in DMEM supplemented with 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM glucose. Heat-killed schistosomula served as controls. Sampling was performed at the indicated time points, and lactate levels (expressed in normalized RFUs) were measured. Mean values and standard deviations of four measurements are shown.
