The gastrointestinal mucosa has several mechanisms through which the xenobiotics are modified. The monooxygenase activities in most species are relatively low in the mucosa as compared to the
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
