Abstract

Larvae of Drosophila melanogaster (wild type and mutant Sepia) were fed with labelled glycine, formate and glucose and the specific radioactivity in uric acid and pterines of the flies was measured. These experiments showed that carbon atoms of the glucose are specifically incorporated into the pterines but not in the purines. Possible pathways are discussed.
