The effects of various levels of sucrose and stearic acid orthogonal design on the lifespan of nematodes

Level	Average lifespan (Days)	Level	Average lifespan (Days)	Level	Average lifespan (days)	Level	Average lifespan (days)
1	8.91 ± 0.22e	5	12.13 ± 0.41b	9	7.45 ± 0.15g	13	7.44 ± 0.12g

The sucrose concentrations in each column were 0 μg/mL, 50 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL, and 500 μg/mL, respectively. The concentration of stearic acid in each row is 0 mmol/L, 50 mmol/L, 250 mmol/L, and 400 mmol/L. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 30). Values without a common letter are significantly different at p < 0.05
