Kadazans, the largest indigenous group in Sabah, northern Borneo, were surveyed for glyoxalase I, phosphoglucomutase I, red cell acid phosphatase, esterase D, adenosine deaminase, soluble glutamate pyruvate transaminase, soluble glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, uridine monophosphate kinase, adenylate kinase, peptidase B and D, superoxide dismutase, C5, group specific component, haptoglobin and transferrin. Kadazans were found to be polymorphic for GLO I, PGM I, RCAP, esterase D, ADA, s-Gpt, 6PGD, UMPK, Gc, C5, haptoglobin and peptidase B. Rare variants were found for transferrin and peptidase D. No variant was found for s-Got, SOD and AK.

The erythrocytes of 350 pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) were examined for electrophoretic variation of hemoglobin and 26 enzymes. Seven enzymes showed variation in more than 1% of individuals: phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphoglucomutase-1, soluble NADP-dependent isocitric dehydrogenase, peptidase A, peptidase C, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase, and acid phosphatase. Variation with lesser frequency was found in soluble glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, phosphoglycerate kinase, lactic dehydrogenase, and hemoglobin. Only eight samples were tested for esterase D, and one of these had a variant phenotype. Enzymes with no clear variation were adenylate kinase, adenosine deaminase, phosphofructokinase, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, phosphoglycerate mutase, phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase), phosphoglucomutase-3, and superoxide dismutase. There was father-to-son transmission of PGI, PGM-1, peptidase C, 6PGD, 2,3-DPGAM, NADP-ICD, and acid phosphatase variants, suggesting that these loci are autosomal as in man.

Using a database of allozyme studies, correlations in heterozygosity between selected enzyme loci (MDH, alpha GPDH, IDH, 6PGDH, LDH, SOD, AAT, PGM, EST, PGI) were calculated across vertebrate species. Large and positive correlations were observed with untransformed heterozygosity values. However, after transformation to correct for mean species heterozygosity, correlations were substantially reduced and median values were closer to zero. Some enzymes were more often involved in significant correlations than others, and correlations calculated across species within vertebrate classes were significant for different enzyme pairs in different classes. There was no evidence that significant correlations occurred primarily between functionally related enzymes. It is suggested that the observed correlations are best explained by variation between enzyme loci in functional constraint and effective neutral mutation rate.

Genetic variants of leukocyte mitochondrial glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, mitochondrial malic enzyme and phosphoglucomutase locus III were studied in the Galician population. There was no significant heterogeneity between 8 Galician subpopulations. The gene frequencies in the total population were: GOT(2)2 = 0.025; ME(2)2 = 0.408; PGM(2)3 = 0.333. No rare variants were found.

To survey the genetic resources of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks in Finland, an electrophoretic study was made of natural and hatchery stocks. The stocks were compared with the nearest stocks in the USSR, and the effects of hatchery rearing were evaluated. The genetic variation within and between stocks was measured from 20 samples, of which three (Kola, Neva and Onega) were from the USSR. Twenty-five enzyme loci were examined, of which six were polymorphic: AAT-4, IDH-3, ME-3, MDH-3, PGM-1, and SDH-1. The mean heterozygosity of all the populations was 4.2% (1.0-7.2). For the natural salmon stocks of the Arctic Ocean, the mean heterozygosity was 6.3%, for the natural stocks of Atlantic salmon in the Baltic 4.8%, for the hatchery stocks 3.6%, and for the lake salmon (Salmo salar m. sebago Girard) 1.8%. The results are in agreement with the hypothesis that the amount of variation depends on the effective population size and that culture diminishes variation by decreasing the effective population size. All the stocks originating from different rivers differed from each other with statistical significance. The most unique stocks were the River Kola stock and the lake salmon stock from Lake Saimaa. The genetic distances were consistent with the geographic distance between the rivers from which the stocks originated. Stress is laid on the importance in fish culture of maintaining separate stocks and using larger brood stocks.

The ontogenetic trends in the expression of 25 isozymes in liver, gizzard, heart, and pectoralis muscle of White Leghorn chickens were examined using starch gel electrophoresis. Little change in expression during development was evident in liver S-AAT-A, GPI-A, S-ICDH-A, S-MDH-A and M-MDH-A, in gizzard S-ACON-A, ADH-A, GPI-A, HK-1, HK-3, ME-A PEP-1, and PGM-A, in heart ADH-A, HK-1, HK-3, ME-A, PEP-2, PGM-A, and LDH-A, in pectoralis M-ACON-A, S-ACON-A, ADH-A, HK-1, HK-3, ME-A, PEP-2, and PGM-A, and in liver, gizzard, and heart M-ACON-A, ALD-A, CK-A, G3PDH-A, HK-1, and PGDH-A. Increasing levels of activity were demonstrated in liver ADH-A, ME-A, and PEP-2, in heart M-MDH-A, S-ICDH-A, M-ICDH, and M-AAT-A, and in pectoralis LDH-A, LDH-B, G3PDH-3, ALD-A, CK-A, HK-2, and PGM-B. There was a decrease in the activity of HK-1 in liver and in PEP-1 and PGDH-A in pectoralis muscle throughout development. While CK-C is active in the embryonic pectoralis, CK-A is restricted to later developmental stages. Isozyme expressions in regions of the pectoralis containing fast and slow muscle fibers in 7-month-posthatch individuals were noted and found to be identical. The results underscore the need to use similar developmental stages and tissue samples in comparative electrophoretic studies of birds.

Linkage relationships among five polymorphic enzyme-coding gene loci in the marine copepod Tigriopus californicus have been determined using electrophoretic analysis of progeny from laboratory matings. Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI; EC 5.3.1.9) was found to be tightly linked to glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT; EC 2.6..1.2), with only one recombinant observed in 364 progeny; glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT; EC 2.6.1.1) is linked to the PGI-GPT pair, with a recombination fraction of approximately 0.20 in male double heterozygotes. Phosphoglucomutase (PGM; EC 2.7.5.1) and an esterase (EST; EC 3.1.1.1) are not linked to the PGI, GPT, GOT grouping, which has been designated linkage group I. Reciprocal crosses have revealed that no recombination occurs in female T. californicus; this observation confirms a previous report that meiosis in female Tigriopus is achiasmatic.

Nine populations of Oncomelania, field-collected from Anhui, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan were studied by horizontal starch gel electrophoretic method with 24 enzyme systems (AAT, AcPH, AK, AO, APH, CK, EST, GDH, GPI, G6PD, HBD, ISDH, LAP, LDH, ME, MDH, MPI, NADD, OCT, PGM, 6PGD, SDH, SOD, XDH) analyzed. 40 loci and 117 alleles were detected in the Oncomelania. Both of GPI and PGM-I, with 7 alleles, were the most variable loci. 22 loci had more than 3 alleles each. Of 40 loci examined in the 24 isozyme systems, 14 were found to be polymorphic, the proportion of multilocus enzymes being 58.3%. Our results showed that the genetic polymorphism existing in the populations of Oncomelania in the mainland of China. PGM and MDH, were found in both the populations of Oncomelania and strains of Schistosoma japonicum in the mainland of China. The results provided a new idea for studying snails and Schistosoma. Also, we found that there might be some correlation between the polymorphic locus and the feature of the shell of Oncomelania snail.

Thirteen enzymes encoded by 16 loci of six population of Oncomelania hupensis in Zhejiang, China, were investigated by means of starch gel electrophoresis. Ten loci (AO, 6PGD, ME, AKP, OCT-1, HBDH-1, HBDH-2, XDH, MDH and MPI) were monomorphic and 6 loci (OCT-2, PGI, AAT, PGM-1, PGM-2 and ACP) were polymorphic. Three enzymes (OCT, HBDH and PGM) were encoded by 2 loci. The results indicated that there were allozyme variations in two subspecies, O.h. hupensis and O.h. fausti in Zhejiang, China. Nei's multilocus genetic distances (D) between subspecies ranged from 0.167 to 0.265. Minor genetic distances were detected between populations of the same subspecies. The results indicated that the enzyme acid phosphatase (ACP) is a possible marker to measure the degree of susceptibility of O. hupensis to S. Japonicum.

The two related species, Rodentolepis straminea (Goeze, 1782) and Rodentolepis microstoma (Dujardin, 1845) (Cestoda, Hymenolepididae), both parasites of rodents, were compared morphologically and electrophoretically. Adult worms were isolated from three wild rodent species of the family Muridae (Apodemus flavicollis, Apodemus sylvaticus, and Mus musculus) from three different sites in Spain and France. Although these two species were strikingly similar in morphological appearance, some of the morphological and metrical features analysed (scolex, mature segments and eggs) can be used for differentiation. Fixed allelic differences were found. Of the ten enzymes detected by starch-gel electrophoresis, six (AAT, AK, GPI, MDH, NP, PGM) showed characteristic isoenzyme profiles in each species. Only in MPI, PEPC, PEPD, and ME enzyme loci were no differences found. The study revealed that the two taxa can be clearly differentiated.
