1 Department of Physiology, University College, Cork, Ireland A total of 534 fertilized one-cell rabbit ova were cultured in media with and without bicarbonate. Ova
grew to the morula stage in a Hepes buffered medium without added bicarbonate whereas the presence
of bicarbonate was necessary for progression to the blastocyst stages. Levels of bicarbonate as low as
0.31 mM allowed blastocyst formation to take place.
