家白蚁氨基酸含量及其在初建群体形成过程中变化的测定初报

对家白蚁Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki雌雄繁殖蚁在初建群体形成过程中氨基酸含量变化的测定,初步认为与产卵、哺育幼蚁和交尾有密切关系。产卵高峰期、哺育幼蚁期和交尾期氨基酸含量骤然下降,而产卵间歇期又开始回升。同时发现,雌雄蚁体重的变化对氨基酸含量的变化没有明显影响。

AN INITIAL REPORT OF THE DETERMINATION OF AMINOACID CONTENT ON COPTOTERMES FOXMOSANUS SHIRAKI AND ITS CHANGES IN THE INCIPIENT COLONY FORMATION

The determination of the change of Amino-acid content on the paired termites Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki in the incipient colony formation. In the determination, we have discovered that the Amino-acid content of females is higher than those of males. The females is 52.63 per cent and later is only 41.07 percent, the change of Amino-acid content has a close relation with their oviposition, larve feeding and mating. The Amino-acid content desends suddenly during the period of oviposition peak, larve feeding and mating.The Amino-acid content of females descends from 52.63 percent at just pairing to 35.51 percent and this of males is from 40.45, 41.07 percent at the presence of young larves and 41.07 percent at just pairing to 23.35, 35.85 percent respectively, but in the intermittent period of oviposition, theAminoacid content has gone up oviposition again, from 48.64 to 49.83 percent, at the same time, it is discovered that the body weight of them has no relation with the change of Amino-acid content. After pairing, the dry weight of females descends gradually in the days of experiment from 117 to 187, but in the later period, it has gone up slowly, from 84.9 to 23.8 and from 23.8 to 34.3 mg, but the change of Amino-acid is 52.63, 49.83 and 43.78 percent, which are not direct ratio.
