Abstract
The amount and quality of nutrients taken by organisms have a
significant impact on stress resistance, life-history features, and
reproduction. The balance between energy uptake and expenditure is critical to
animal survival and reproductive success. However the present study the flies
of D. melanogaster was cultured in wheat cream agar media and Pleurotus
ostreatus (oyster) mushroom diet media. To understand the effect of P.
ostreatus (oyster) mushroom diet on the heat resistance of D.
melanogaster. The result revealed that the flies raised in P. ostreatus
(oyster) mushroom had greater heat tolerance than compared to control wheat
cream agar media treated flies. Furthermore also our result revealed that the
female flies had capacity to tolerate the higher heat temperature (36°C), than
compared to male flies treated in P. ostreatus mushroom diet of D.
melanogaster. And the mated female flies had greater heat resistance than
those of mated female flies. But in unmated male flies had greater heat
resistance than compared to mated male flies of D. melanogaster treated
in P. ostreatus (oyster) mushroom and control media flies. Thus these
suggest that the Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster) mushroom in the diet
increases the heat resistance in D. melanogaster due to the mushroom
contain minerals protein and other nutrients.
