Figure 1. Real-time odor behavior assay.

Figure 1

(A) Assay design. Worms are placed in the middle of a 15 cm square plate. Odor solution is placed on one side of the plate, and a weak counterattractant (E. coli strain OP50) is placed on the opposite side. (B) Benzaldehyde attraction in real-time odor behavior assay. Attraction to the odor benzaldehyde (blue) decreases over the two hour assay. Control diluent (100% ethanol) attraction is shown in red.
