Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii are the species of the family Drosophilidae. Although these two fruit flies are taxonomically close species, D. suzukii is thought to be evolutionally adapted to the flesh or maturing fruits, whereas D. melanogaster is adapted to more fermented environments. According to the previous studies, several environmental toxins, such as acetic acid, ethanol, methanol and phenylacetate, ect., have been identified from rotten fruit and fermentation procedures. Considering the differences of distinct habitat between two flies, D. melanogaster is hypothesized to exhibit higher tolerance to the chemical toxins than D. suzukii. Therefore, in this study, we compared the tolerance and susceptibility of two fruit flies to three chemicals (acetic acid, ethanol, 2-phenlyethano).
