Abstract
Nikkomycin exerts a dose-dependent chitin synthesis inhibition when injected into pharate fifth instar larvae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. This effect can be clearly visualized by electron microscopy and by fluorescence microscopy. Comparison of the results presented here with previous microscopical studies on other arthropod groups suggest that the length of an intermolt cycle and duration of the cuticle deposition phase may be responsible for the molting inhibitory potence of Nikkomycin in different arthropod taxa.
