Cells were grown in Hayflick rich medium and samples taken at
indicated timepoints. Protein amount was determined using the BCA
protein assay kit (Thermo Scientifc). pH was measured indirectly by
comparing the change of the color indicator in the growth medium to a
standard curve prepared with identical growth medium and titrated with
known amounts of lactic acid. Concentrations of growth medium
metabolites were determined using commercially available kits (glucose
and lactic acid from BioVision, actetic acid and ethanol from
Megazyme) essentially following the protocols provided by the
manufacturer.
