Figure 1. DAF-7/TGF-β is required for the protective behavioral avoidance response to P. aeruginosa.

Figure 1

(A) Fraction animals alive after being transferred to plates seeded with P. aeruginosa strain PA14. (B) Fraction animals alive after being transferred to a “Big Lawn” of P. aeruginosa in which the bacteria has been spread to the edges of the plate. All data points represent the average of at least three independent replicates. (C) Photographs of wild-type and daf-7 animals after 15 h exposure to P. aeruginosa. (D) Lawn occupancy of animals on P. aeruginosa after 15 h. (E) The canonical DAF-7/TGF-β signaling pathway in C. elegans. *** P < 0.001 as determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison Test. n.s. = not significant. Values represent means of at least three independent experiments. Error bars indicate standard error. See also Figure S1.
