These facts are consistent with the release from the tail end of the worm of a hormone which depresses the O2 consumption of the worm.doi:10.1016/0016-6480(86)90024-9K.G.DaveyElsevier Inc.General and Comparative EndocrinologyDavey, K.G. 1986. A possible hormone controlling O2 consumption in...
Nematode, any worm of the phylum Nematoda. Nematodes are among the most abundant animals on Earth. They occur as parasites in animals and plants or as free-living forms in soil, fresh water, marine environments, and even such unusual places as vinegar. L
…studies centred on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a near-microscopic soil worm that had been identified by Brenner as an ideal organism on which to study programmed cell death. In 1986 Horvitz reported the first two “death genes,” ced-3 and ced-4, which participate in the cell-kill...
The number of worms was counted in 3 aliquots of 20 µL of the worm suspension to determine the total number of worms in the chamber. Basal respiration was measured after N2 nematode addition at 20 °C, and residual respiration (ROX) was obtained by the titration with 25 µL of 2M ...
