Abstract
Investigations on carbohydrate dissimilation in the blowfly Phormia regina have been conducted. Extensive citric acid cycle activity was found to be localized in adult mitochondria, but could not be demonstrated in larvae. Cytochrome oxidase activity was greater in the adult than in larvae. Glycolysis and the pentose cycle system were present in soluble fractions from both the adult and larvae, and the pentose cycle was also indicated in the egg. The presence of three TPN-specific enzymes was demonstrated: isocitric, G-6-P, and 6-PGA dehydrogenases.
