Abstract
A diet containing algal protein-U-C14 provided a convenient means of studying in vivo protein utilization by larvae of the pale western cutworm Agrotis orthogonia Morr. Utilization of dietary protein in both first- and fifth-instar larvae was found to be quantitatively significant. This technique avoids the difficulty of enzyme extraction artifacts and has particular application to organisms that are too small to permit investigation by classical methods.Keywords
