The 55b deletion mutation did not affect resistance to benzyl alcohol sedation. To test for differences in the resistance to sedation with benzyl alcohol, the rate of recovery from a single benzyl alcohol sedation of wild type and sloΔ55b mutant flies was compared. Age-matched female flies of were sedated with benzyl alcohol vapor and transferred to a fresh air environment, and the percentage of recovered flies over time was recorded. Both the wild-type and sloΔ55b flies recovered at the same rate. The statistical significance between the two recovery curves was determined by log-rank test (n = 5, P = 0.1949) and error bars represent SEM.
