Tetracycline treatment influences mitochondrial metabolism and mtDNA density two generations after treatment in Drosophila
1 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tetracycline is commonly used to clear Wolbachia from infected insects. Studies then compare specific biochemical and/or life-history traits between infected and uninfected individuals with the same genetic background. We investigated the potential for tetracycline to influence mitochondrial efficiency and mitochondrial (mt)DNA density two generations after treatment in Drosophila simulans. We observed that...
