When animals were treated for longer times, the majority of worms became stiff and immobile and lacked wild type movement.
As expected, the DTCs migrate properly in N2 worms in the majority of worms (2 ± 2% migration defective, performed in triplicate, Figure 2A).
Once the majority of worms were adults with eggs, sucrose flotation was used to remove bacteria and other life-stage worms.
The majority of worms spawned during new moon phases, in line with normal spawning rhythms observed under our laboratory conditions (Zantke et al. 2013).
The majority of worms either died (55% for Smed-dynA-2 RNAi) and 64% for Smed-dynA-2 RNAi)) Smed-dynA-2 RNAiete heandregeneration over the entire 8 day experiment as quantified by counting the number of eyes per worm (Fig. 3B).
Numerous authors have put forward possible explanations, including features of the host-parasite relationship that slow the rate of adaptation, such as the skewed distribution of WEC, which results in the majority of worms being harboured by susceptible hosts; and the insensitivity of WEC as a measure of adaptation e.g. [ 8- 10].
As the majority of all worm profiling data uses whole worms, similar reasoning could be applied to these studies.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.08649.022 The larval/adult epidermis (the worm's 'skin') is composed of a single, multinuclear syncytial cell (hyp7) that covers the majority of the worm's body (gold in 3D schematic in Figure 2B).
The body epidermis (gold in 3D view ) is a large, thin multinucleated syncytial cell that covers the majority of the worm's body; rows of seam cells (pink ) are embedded within the body epidermis in rows that run along either side of the worm.
If you have a stacking worm bin system, the majority of the worms should move down through the layers as the compost becomes ready, so you shouldn't have too many to deal with.
