C. elegans preferentially digests tan glycerol-induced spores. (A) C. elegans digesting 20-μl spots of glycerol-induced spores. Insets are higher magnifications of the spot perimeters. Bars, 1 mm. (B) Enumeration of C. elegans worms recorded at several time points after a starter culture of 100 nematodes was added to plates containing spots of glycerol-induced spores. (C) Recovery of viable M. xanthus cells from agar surfaces after C. elegans was allowed to feed for 60 h. Error bars show standard deviations for three separate experiments.
