Abstract

|
The present investigation was attempted to see if MSG(monosodium glutamate) and saccharose, widely used for food additivies, affect the emergence rates of Drosophila virilis. For the present experiments, the four strains(Sinchon-I, Sinchon-II, Choongju, Jeju) were used and MSG and saccharose media were prepared by adding various concentrations of MSG and saccharose to the standard medium. The results obtained were as follows. 1) The significant difference in the emergence rates of Drosophila virilis was found with the concentrations of MSG and saccharose; the emergence rates were decreased as the concentrations of MSG and saccharose were increased. 2) The effects of MSG and saccharose on the emergence rates were not significantly different among the four strains of Drosophila virilis. 3) The effect of MSG on the emergence rates was found to be greater than that of saccharose.
