Notes:
The uric acid contents in larvae, pupae, and culture media were studied during larval and pupal development in three genotypes of Drosophila melanogaster reared in both crowded and noncrowded conditions. The uric acid content and the response of genotypes in media supplemented with 10 and 15 mg/ml of uric acid were correlated with the outcome obtained in conditioned media. In addition, the behavior of genotypes in conditioned media is explained in terms of the physicochemical properties of the conditioned media, which include uric acid content, the amount of food ingested, the degree of free water, the physical disturbance within the cultures, and the particular response of each genotype to uric acid.
