Daily rhythm, ATP concentration and oxidative activity in an aposymbiotic strain of Blaberus craniifer Burmeister (Blattaria, Blaberidae)

Abstract Last‐instar female nymphs of Blaberus craniifer were treated with an antibiotic to induce aposymbiosis in their ovaries. These females, when adult, were coupled with normal males. The aposymbiotic brood so obtained evidenced a significant reduction in amplitude of the daily locomotion rhythm, poor oxygen consumption, and a loss of ATP concentration in their fat bodies and muscles. The parenteral supply of 5‐amino‐4‐imidazolcarboxy‐amide, a precursor of purine bases, improved motor activity and increased ATP concentration in both tissues, in the aposymbionts and in the controls.
