Maintenance of intracellular pH in the physiologic range is especially relevant for the survival of the amastigote in its acidic in vivo environment.

Kinetoplast-mitochondrial vesicles from Leishmania tropica promastigotes were prepared by subjecting the particulate fractions from cell lysates to floatation ultracentrifugation in renografin gradients and showed succinate-cytochrome c reductase activity as well as the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNase-resistant DNA.

The plant body in Terniola zeylanica (Gardner) Tulasne, a member of the Podostemaceae, consists of a creeping thallus that is bisexual, hypogynous and trimerous and the embryo possesses a large, coeno-cytic, haustorial cell.

Amastigotes (tissue forms) of Leishmania donovani isolated from infected hamster spleens carried out several physiological activities optimally at pH 4.0 to 5.5, which may account in part for the unusual ability of amastigote to survive and multiply within the acidic environment of the phagolysosomes in vivo.
Enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in four human species of Leishmania: a comparative survey.

The occurrence and levels of activity of various enzymes of carbohydrate catabolism in culture forms (promastigotes) of 4 human species of Leishmania were compared and no evidence could be found for the production of lactic acid by growing cultures and lactic acids could not be detected either in cell-free preparations or after incubation of cell- free extracts with pyruvate and NADH under appropriate conditions.

There is a stereospecific, carrier-mediated transport system for glucose uptake in L. tropica and observations suggest that both sugars are taken up by the same system.

Plasma membrane K+/H+‐ATPase From leishmania donovani

It is concluded that the H+‐ATPase previously reported on the plasma membrane of L. donovani is in fact a K+/H+‐ ATPase, and reduction of cellular ATP with NaN3 and KCN inhibits K+ /H+ exchange showing thereby that the process is energy dependent.
Characteristics of an uptake system for alpha-aminoisobutyric acid in Leishmania tropica promastigotes.

Uptake is regulated by feedback inhibition and transinhibition and the uptake system is saturable with reference to AIB and the Lineweaver-Burk plots show biphasic kinetics suggesting the involvement of two transport systems.
