The total accumulated amount of a metabolite (or macromolecule) was computed by numerically integrating the synthesis rate (v) of each metabolite over the 48-h intraerythrocytic developmental cycle under control (CTL) or fosmidomycin (FOS)-treated conditions. Abbreviation: gDW, grams dry weight of the parasite.
