Abstract
|
|
|
In order to see if monosodium glutamate (MSG), a widely used food additive, affects the development of Drosophila virilis, an experiment was undertaken by examining the numbers of F_1 individuals emerged from the medium containing various concentrations of monosodium glutamate and sucrose.
The results obtained are presented below:
1) The numbers of F_1 flies decrease as the concentration of monosodium glutamate increase. This suggests that monosodium glutamate has inhibitory effect on the development of Drosophila virilis.
2) Sucrose also shows an inhibitory effect on the development of Dosorphila virilis, but it is not so conspicuous as the effect of monosodium glutamate is.
