Effect of dietary purines and pyrimidines on growth and development of Drosophila

A comparative study and purification of the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase from wild-type and adenine-resistant strains of Drosophila melanogaster

“…The effects of a wide range of purines and pyrimidines on Drosophila development has been studied and the lethal level of adenine in the culture medium was found to be 15 mM (Clynes and Duke, 1976). Ho et a/. (1984a) reported that the addition of 0.23% of adenine per 100 g of the nutrient medium reduced by one-half the number of hatched adult flies.…”
