Culture in axenic medium causes two-fold increases in the length of development and adult
life span in Caenorhabditis elegans. We asked whether axenic medium imposes dietary …

Dietary restriction (DR) increases life span in a wide variety of animals. In Caenorhabditis
elegans both reduced bacterial concentration (BDR) and culture on non-bacterial, semi …

The developmental process of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is famously invariant;
however, these animals have surprisingly variable lifespans, even in extremely …

The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is used as a genetically manipulable
experimental system for the study of aging. Utilizing a temperature-sensitive sterile strain …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a key model system for experimental research on
the genetic regulation of aging, and has paved the way towards many important discoveries …

Studies of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans have almost exclusively utilized
growth on a bacterial diet. Such culturing presents a challenge to automation of …

Dietary restriction (DR) lengthens life span in wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate
species. The molecular mechanism by which DR increases life span and the universality of …

The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent experimental system for
the study of aging. The present study identifies some of the major biological and …

Microbes can provide their hosts with protection from biotic and abiotic factors. While many
studies have examined how certain bacteria can increase host lifespan, fewer studies have …

Over a century ago, the zoologist Emile Maupas first identified the nematode, Rhabditis
elegans, in the soil in Algiers. Subsequent work and phylogenic studies renamed the …
