[Worm Breeder's Gazette, 2002]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of streptomycin sulphate in water solutions on the nematode life span. In this experiment streptomycin sulphate was used in following dilutions: 1.0 and 0.1 mg/ml. Three adult animals (3 - 5 days old) were kept in microtitre wells containing 0.5 ml of liquid medium (with E. coli and without streptomycin sulphate) during 4 hours, then they were discarded and newborn larvae were transferred in next wells (without streptomycin sulphate in medium) every day (one worm in one well) beginning from third day. Then, beginning from 3th day, these worms were transferred every day in next wells containing medium with streptomycin sulphate in any concentration. This investigation was carried out in temperature +21C and in the darkness.

Bakaev VV

[Worm Breeder's Gazette, 1996]

C. elegans (1 - 2 days old) were collected from separate stock, frozen and after 12 hours or more time, thawed, filtrated and mixed with S medium containing E. coli (1:1), this mixture was used as a medium for worms in experimental group. The medium for control group was prepared by mixing S medium containing E. coli with S medium without E. coli (1:1). Three adult animals (3 - 5 days old) were kept in microtitre wells containing 0,75 ml of liquid medium (with E. coli and with or without young worms extract) during 12 hours, then they were discarded and newborn larvae were transferred in next wells every day (one worm in one well). The medium with extract from young worms was used in experimental group beginning from 12th day, that is practically in postreproductive period of nematode life span. A number of progeny was calculated every day. This investigation was carried out in temperature +21C and in the darkness. The obtained results are presented in the following table.
