“…Nine allozyme loci, corresponding to eight enzymatic systems, were analysed by starch gel electrophoresis: malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37), malic enzyme (ME, EC 1.1.1.40), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH, EC 1.1.1.42), glutamate‐oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT, EC 2.6.1.1), phosphoglucomutase (PGM, EC 2.7.5.1, two detectable loci hereafter referred to as PGM1 and PGM2), peptidase D (PEP D, EC 3.4.13.9), glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI, EC 5.3.1.9) and 6‐phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD, EC 1.1.1.44). Electrophoretic and staining procedures were carried out according to Sá‐Pinto, Alexandrino & Branco (2007).…”
