FIGURE 8.

DAF-16 is required for the resistance to P. aeruginosa-induced neurodegeneration of germ line-deficient animals. Shown are neurodegeneration rates in glp-1(e2141) and mes-1(bn7) animals crossed with strain OH3192. The animals were grown on control or daf-16 RNAi plates until the young adult stage and then cultured on full lawn plates of P. aeruginosa for 30 h at 25 °C. The graph represents the combined results of three independent experiments (n = 30 animals). Bars, mean ± S.E. (error bars).
