“ Ammonia production was reduced by manipulating the amino acid composition of the culture medium; specifically, glutamine, glutamate, asparagine , aspartate, and serine levels were adjusted.”
“The maximal rate of reaction with ammonia is 2.5 times greater than that with glutamine and 10 times greater than that with asparagine at the respective pH optima.”

“No evidence of urea cycle malfunction was found, so overproduction of ammonia through hydrolysis of plasma asparagine and glutamine seems to be the main cause.”
“ Ammonia caused large stimulatory effects in incorporation of (14)C into glutamine (a factor of 21), aspartate, asparagine , valine, alanine, arginine, and histidine.”
