Abstract
AbstractDrosophila pachea is a Sonoran Desert cactiphilic species unable to utilize cholesterol or cholestanol for larval growth and maturation. Lathosterol (7‐cholesten‐3β‐ol) was added to a sterol deficient medium on which an axenic culture ofD. pachea was maintained. 7‐Dehydrocholesterol was identified as the sterol metabolite in adult flies by gas liquid and thin layer chromatography and by its UV spectrum.
