  • Title: Biochemical investigation of the Rana esculenta complex in the Kis-Balaton Nature Reserve, Hungary.
    Author: Lów P, Sass M, Csörgó T, Török J.
    Journal: Acta Biol Hung; 1989; 40(1-2):137-44. PubMed ID: 2633579.
    Abstract:
    In this study it has been proved by PAGE of serum proteins that all the three members of the Rana esculenta complex occur in the Kis-Balaton Nature Reserve (Hungary). On the basis of the LDH isoenzyme pattern which is characteristic in green frogs we could distinguish all three variations of R. ridibunda and R. lessonae and one type of R. esculenta. The mobility of serum albumins on SDS-PAGE implies that the R. esculenta comes from hybridization of the two other species. The PAGE methods provide a reliable basis for the rapid taxonomic identification of both adults and immature speciments of the three forms of frogs.
