We are doing some lengthy experiments on fly aging. The food we have used so far is "Ready Mix Drosophila Dried Food" (powder form) from Philip Morris Biological, Axon, England. Unfortunately their production has been discontinued. Since the new food we tried "Instant Drosophila Medium" (flakes) from Carolina Biological Supply Company, Burlington, has different properties, we would appreciate if anybody who still has some of the English dried food would be willing to part with it and sell us 2-3 pounds. Thanks in advance. Christine Brack Biozentrum University Basel CH-4056 Basel Switzerland Brack@ubaclu.unibas.ch .
