Abstract

High activity of the enzyme, xanthindehydrogenase, was detected in larval fat-body of wild typeDrosophila melanogaster. The Malpighian tubules of both larvae and adults exhibit activity, too, though rather little. No activity was detected in larval testes, while probably insignificant traces were found in adult testes. The results are discussed with regard to non-autonomy of mutants deficient in the enzyme.
