Host-specific contributions of the C. elegans N2 commensal to development and lifespan. (A) CEN2ent1 (Ent) accelerates development of C. elegans N2, and even more so of C. briggsae (Br) compared to E. coli (EC). Developmental stage was scored 42 h after egg laying (at 25°C, N = 28–47 worms per group). (B,C) Growth on CEN2ent1 shortens lifespan (at 25°C) of C. elegans worms (B), but not of C. briggsae (C). Averages ±SDs of measurements performed in triplicate (N = 31–89 worms per group).
