Caenorhabditis elegans: comparisons of chemotactic behavior from monoxenic and axenic culture.
Significant differences in chemotactic response of Caenorhabditis elegans were demonstrated for nematodes from monoxenic culture as compared to nematodes from axenic culture. These results support those of a previous study in which large differences in growth, development, behavior, and longevity were shown for C. elegans in comparative assays of the monoxenic and axenic regimes.
