Effect of L. fermentum MBC2 on nematode lifespan and colonization capacity. (A) Kaplan–Meier survival plot of N2 worms fed L. fermentum MBC2. Lifespans of OP50- and LGG-fed animals are reported as controls; n = 60 for each data point of single experiments. (B) Effect of heat-killed strains on C. elegans viability. (C) Bacterial colony forming units (CFU) recovered from nematodes were obtained by plating whole lysates of L4 and 5-day-old adults fed L. fermentum MBC2, LGG or OP50. Bars represent the mean of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001), ns: not significant.
