Abstract

Growth inhibition with antimetabolite and its reversal with the metabolite has been employed as a criterion for studying the nutritional requirement of the silkworm for niacin and pyridoxine. 3-Acetyl pyridine (3-AP) and deoxypyridoxine (DP) have been used as antimetabolites for producing niacin and pyridoxine deficiency respectively, and the results show that both vitamins are essential for the growth of the silkworm.
