Abstract
Phase contrast and electron microscopy of the lethal mutant black larva of Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann showed an excessive accumulation of a black granular substance in the cytoplasm of the fat body cells. Analyses for lipids and glycogen indicated that the mutants contain as much lipid and glycogen as the normals.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
