Résumé

On décrit un milieu de composition chimique définie, se prêtant à l'analyse qualitative des acides aminés nécessaires au développement des larves deTrogoderma. A cet effet, dix acides aminés sont indispensables: l'arginine, l'histidine, l'isoleucine, la leucine, la lysine, la méthionine, la phénylalanine, la thréonine, la tryptophane et la valine. Le lard et l'acide nucléique sont également nécessaires à l'alimentation de ces larves.
