Summary

Phosphoglucomutase electrophoretic patterns have been studied in 60 tail homogenates ofTriturus cristatus carnifex. Our results show that the same sample produces a different electrophoretic pattern with homogenate ageing; a new band of intermediate mobility appears, together with the one produced by the fresh preparation. The phenomenon can mimic a true genetic polymorphism when differently stored samples are analyzed.
