a

P‐values for comparisons of 13C‐content in worms from incubations versus dead worms (t‐test, one‐tailed, H0 = 13C‐content of live worms is not higher than that of dead worms). After Bonferroni correction for three comparisons the significance threshold P < 0.01 corresponds to P < 0.003.

b

P‐values for comparisons of 13C‐content in worms incubated without additional energy source versus incubations with CO or H2 added (t‐test, two‐tailed, H0 = means are equal).

c

The detailed data including the measurements on the standard caffeine can be found in Table S3.

AT%: atom percent [13C / (12C + 13C) × 100]. w/o e−‐donor: without an additional energy source added to the incubations. n: total number of bulk worm samples (each containing eight worms).
