MeHg exposure confers concentration-dependent animal death. WT (N2) L4 nematodes (≥ 30 worms/condition, six replicates) were grown on 8P plates with various concentrations of MeHg, and the number of live animals was determined 48 h later. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test. The number of live animals was significantly different from control (0μM MeHg) at 100 and 125μM (*p < 0.01).
