Representatives of five allozymic classes of Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase have been compared with respect to their activity levels on two alcohol substrates, quantities of ADH protein, and stability in crude extracts. Within each allozymic class, strains from widely diverse geographic locations
Eight Drosophila melanogaster strains, seven homozygous for AdhF alleles and one for an Adh-null mutant, were compared for ADH activity in males and adult mortality on ethanol-supplemented food. The strains differed considerably in these qualities. A positive correlation was found between ADH activi
