TISSUE-SPECIFIC GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASES IN ANOPHELINE MOSQUITOES

Glucose Dehydrogenases in Drosophila Melanogaster 6 - Phosphate and 6 - Phosphogluconate

By combining ten second and ten third chromosomes, we investigated chromosomal interaction with respect to the action of the modifier factors on GGPD and GPGD activities in Drosophila melanogaster. Analysis of variance revealed that highly significant chromosomal interaction exists for both enzyme activities. From the estimated variance components, it was concluded that the variation in enzyme ...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of adrenal tissue.

The direct oxidative pathway of glucose utilization or the hexose monophosphate shunt has received a great deal of attention recently, and numerous attempts have been made to evaluate its importance in various tissues. Glock and McLean, in making a survey of the levels of enzymes of this pathway in a number of mammalian tissues, recently reported unusually high activity in the adrenal glands, p...

Glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate Dehydrogenases from Eggs of the Sea Urchin, Arbacia Punctulata

1. Glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases have been found in homogenates of Arbacia eggs; 95 per cent of the activity toward each substrate is recovered in the supernatant fraction after centrifuging at 20,000 g for 30 minutes. 2. With glucose-6-phosphate as substrate) the rate of TPN reduction by the supernatant fraction from 1 gm. wet weight unfertilized or fertilized eggs ...

The Anopheline Mosquitoes of India

Distribution of anopheline mosquitoes in northern Australia.

Using carbon-dioxide-baited light traps and larval sampling, anopheline mosquitoes were collected from 620 sites in northern Australia. Twelve species were recorded. Anopheles annulipes s. l. (335 sites). An. bancroftii (181 sites), An. meraukensis (162 sites), An. farauti s. s. (133 sites), An. farauti 3 (93 sites), An. amictus (93 sites), An. hilli (88 sites), An. novaguinensis (70 sites), an...
