Fate of Beta-Sitosterol in Housefly Larvæ

Nature, 1958
TWENTY different species of insect larvae, distributed among four orders (Orthoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera) have been found so far to require sterols as growth factors. All of them, excepting the Dermestidae (Dermestes vulpinus Fabr.1 and Attagenus piceus Oliv.2), can utilize both zoosterols and phytosterols; certain species, however ...

The metabolism of abate in mosquito larvae and houseflies

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 1972
Abstract Abate ( O,O,O′,O′ -tetramethyl O,O′ -thiodi- p -phenylene phosphorothioate), a selective mosquito larvicide, and a series of its oxidation products were examined for toxicity to mosquito larvae ( Aedes aegypti ) and adult houseflies ( Musca domestica ).

Food of Housefly Larvæ

Nature, 1960
ALTHOUGH considerable information has been published on the nutritional requirements of fly larvae (refs. 1–5 and Mer, G. G., personal communication) the actual natural food of these insects has never been unequivocally described. The biotopes of housefly larvae consist of a variety of materials which by themselves appear nutritionally inadequate, but ...

Formation of a Phosphonolipid by Larvae of the Housefly, Musca domestica

Nature, 1966
THE presence of 2-aminoethylphosphonate has been reported in ciliates1 and in two sea anemones Anthopleura elegantissima2 and Metridium dianthus3. The finding of the phosphonate in hydrolysates of lipid extracts obtained from these sources and the identification of its glyceryl ester in alcoholic extracts of the sea anemone suggest the natural ...

Metabolism of ceramide phosphorylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol by housefly larvae

Lipids, 1971
AbstractMicrosome preparations (40,000–90,000 g sediment) fromMusca domestica, housefly, larvae convert exogenous32P‐labeled phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol to the respective lysoglycerophosphatides and, ultimately, to the glycerophosphoryl derivatives.

Dietary cholesterol requirements of housefly, Musca domestica, larvae

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1975
Abstract Quantitative analyses have been made of the dietary cholesterol requirement for the growth of the larvae of Musca domestica . The larvae will not grow on diets to which no cholesterol is added, a few pupae and adults are obtained when the concentration of cholesterol is 0·05 μmol/g of diet, but the concentration has to be raised to 0·36 ...

Antibacterial potency of housefly larvae extract from sewage sludge through bioconversion

Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2013
Use of the fly to convert sewage sludge into nutrient-rich soil conditioner and amendment is an attractive approach for sludge bioconversion. During this process, fecal coliforms, an indicating pathogen, in sludge were reduced to 5.3 x 10(2) most probable number/g dry solid from initial 3.32 x 10(6) MPN/g dry solid.

The toxicity of Veratrum and Solanum alkaloids to housefly larvae

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1958
Abstract The high toxicity of dietary V. album to housefly larvae diminishes with increasing larval age and disappears at maturity. The retardation of growth initially caused by V. album is proportional to the concentration of the poison. The benzene-insoluble fraction of V.

Influence of caffeine on sparing effect of dose fractionation in housefly larvae

Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 1979
Caffeine, given during interfraction interval, abolishes the sparing effect of dose fractionation observed for delay of pupariation in Musca domestica larvae. When given as postirradiation treatment after single exposure, caffeine increases the delay in the synergistic manner.

[Analysis of antibacterial-relative proteins and peptides in housefly larvae].

Wei sheng yan jiu = Journal of hygiene research, 2004
To study the antibacterial-relative proteins and peptides in housefly larvae.Third-instar larvae of housefly were treated with different methods including pricking, pricking with bacteria, heating and ultrasonication and were extracted respectively after 6 h, 16 h, 24 h, 48 h, 65 h.
