title: Caenorhabditis elegans: comparisons of chemotactic behavior from monoxenic and axenic culture.
abstract: 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.
