C. elegans mutants deficient in PUFA synthesis. Partial GC traces of populations of WT (A) and PUFA mutant (B–F) worms. The alleles used were as follows: fat-1(wa9), fat-2(wa17), fat-3(wa22), fat-4(wa14), and elo-1(wa7). For comparison of growth, 2-fold stage embryos from each genotype were placed onto culture plates, incubated at 20°C, and photographed after 72 h of growth. At this point WT, fat-1, fat-4, and elo-1 worms had reached adulthood and were just starting to lay eggs, whereas fat-3 had reached the L4 larval stage and fat-2 had grown only to the L2 larval stage. 19:Δ, 11,12-methylene octadecanoic acid.
