Drosophila flies evolve to resist urea exposure, paving way for toxin-resistant organisms.
The researchers studied how fruit flies adapted to survive in urea-rich environments. They found that the adapted flies have lower urea levels in their bodies compared to regular flies. The study looked at three ways the flies could reduce urea levels: breaking down urea, excreting urea, and absorbing less urea from their environment. The results showed that the adapted flies absorb urea slower than regular flies, which helps them maintain lower urea levels in their bodies. This adaptation allows the flies to survive in urea-rich environments by preventing too much urea from entering their bodies.
