By means of a rapid microelectrophoretic technique suitable for singlefly analysis, two types of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isozyme patterns were found, each true breeding in homozygous stocks. A cross of these two types produces offspring with a third type of ADH pattern, containing hybrid ADH mol

Among the progeny of Drosophila flies heterozygous for two noncomplementing Adh-negative alleles, two individuals were found that had recovered appreciable alcohol dehydrogenase activity, thereby surviving the ethanol medium used as a screen. The most likely explanation is that these Adh-positive fl
In this study we have examined the roles of alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde oxidase, and aldehyde dehydrogenase in the adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster to alcohol environments. Fifteen strains were characterized for genetic variation at the above loci by protein electrophoresis. Levels of in vi
Studies of the isozymes produced by alternative alleles at the alcohol dehydrogenase locus of Drosophila melanogaster indicate that the ADH F enzyme is more active but less stable than the ADH S enzyme. The difference in stability is manfested in the responses to various conditions of temperature, p
