Specific enzymatic activities of mitochondrial suspensions isolated from SOPE-symbiotic and SOPE-aposymbiotic larvae of a Wolbachia-free French strain (SFr). (A) Control wheat flour artificial pellets, not supplemented with vitamins. (B) Pellets supplemented with pantothenic acid and riboflavin. Data are expressed as the mean of at least 10 repeats ±SD. SCR, succinate cytochrome c reductase (y unit = 1 μmol⋅mg⁻¹⋅s⁻¹); GCR, glycerol-3-phosphate cytochrome c reductase (y = 0.5 μmol⋅mg⁻¹⋅s⁻¹); PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase (y = 0.1 μmol⋅mg⁻¹⋅s⁻¹); KGDH, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (y = 0.2 μmol⋅mg⁻¹⋅s⁻¹). The effect of vitamins on mitochondrial activities (i.e., interaction between vitamin and symbiosis factors) was found to be significant (∗, P < 0.05) in three of the four independent ANOVA2 tests performed.
