Abstract
Summary The conversion of [ 14 C]-labeled glucosamine to [ 14 C]-labeled insect chitin was inhibited by tunicamycin, a nucleoside antibiotic which specifically blocks the biosynthesis of dolichyl diphosphate N-Acetylglucosamine. A method of short-term culturing is described for the analysis of chitin and glyconjugates biosynthesis by epidermal tissue of Triatoma infestans .
