Survival of C. elegans challenged with Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. (A) Percentage of C. elegans nematodes alive, starting with young adult animals fed on Als5p-expressing, Als5pV326N-expressing, or EV S. cerevisiae cells or C. albicans BWP17 over 4 days. Data are from eight independent experiments; more than 50 animals were used in each case. (B) Hours postexposure at which 50% of nematodes fed the indicated yeast strains died. Data are from eight independent experiments; more than 50 animals were used in each case. ∗ indicates a Student t test for difference from Als5p with a P value of <0.05; ∗∗ indicates a Student t test with a P value of <0.005. (C) Percentage of C. elegans nematodes alive, starting with young adult animals fed on Als5p-expressing cells or E. coli OP50 over 4 days. Data are from three independent experiments; more than 50 animals were used in each case.
