Flies fed a biotin-deficient diet (BD) have greater rates of survival to adulthood in the presence of hydroxyurea compared with biotin-normal controls. In this population-controlled study flies were mated in the presence of up to 11 mmol/L hydroxyurea and eclosed flies were counted. The following groups of flies were used: eggs from BD parents transferred to BD diet (denoted “BD”); eggs from BD parents transferred to control diet (“BD to control”), eggs from control parents transferred to BD diet (“control to BD”), and eggs from control parents transferred to control diet (“control”). Data are means ± SD. a,b,cValues not sharing the same superscript are significantly different for the same concentration of hydroxyurea (P < 0.01; n = 4 vials). *No live flies eclosed.
