Abstract
AbstractEnzymes were investigated, by electrophoresis, in a population of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead collected from Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria, Western Kenya.The following enzymes were tested: glucose phosphate isomerase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), hexokinase. isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), malate-dehydrogenase (MDH), phosphoglucomutase, and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH).Single monomorphic bands were stained by the following enzymes apparently under the control of single loci: G6PDH, MDH, and XDH. The enzyme IDH showed two bands with very close mobilities and no variation among individuals in the population. Hence IDH was considered as representing a single locus. Glucose phosphate isomerase manifested three alleles and apparently six genotypes. Phosphoglucomutase manifested a double-banded pattern representing an autosomal locus.
