Figure 2. P. aeruginosa Colonization of the Intestine Induces Pathogen Avoidance.
(A) Percent occupancy of N2 animals on P. aeruginosa lawn over time (left y-axis) and percent of N2 animals with no or weak colonization of P. aeruginosa-GFP over time (right y-axis). Animals showing colonization in a small fraction of the intestine were considered weakly colonized.
(B) Representative photomicrographs of animals that were picked either from the inside or outside of P. aeruginosa-GFP lawn after 18 hours of incubation on the lawns.
(C) Colony forming units per animal of animals that were picked either from the inside or outside of P. aeruginosa-GFP lawn after 18 hours of incubation on the lawns. *p < 0.05 via the t-test.
(D) Representative photomicrographs of the distribution of control as well as nol-6 RNAi animals after 12 hours and 24 hours of incubation on P. aeruginosa lawns.
(E) Percent occupancy of the control as well as nol-6 RNAi animals after 12 hours and 24 hours of incubation on P. aeruginosa lawns. **p < 0.01 via the t-test. n.s., non-significant.
