A new variant of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH 7lk) was found in a laboratory stock of Drosophila melanogaster. ADH in this stock had the same electrophoretic mobility as the F variant both on acrylamide and on agar. Activity levels were similar to the levels in F flies at temperature between 15 and 25

We have examined the kinetic properties of enzymes produced by the electrophoretically fast (F) and slow (S) alleles at the alcohol dehydrogenase locus in a polymorphic laboratory population of Drosophila melanogaster. The product of the F allele has approximately twice the specific activity of the
By incorporating ethanol (4% v/v) into the larval rearing medium of a specially constructed Drosophila melanogaster strain it was possible to produce only male adults; the female larvae died.In this strain, the male determining chromosome was linked with a positive Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) allele
