disorganized pharyngeal EPG
Electropharyngeograms do not show a similar pattern as control animals. C. elegans animals show a repeating regular pattern in which each pump is associated with an excitatory depolarizing wave, often punctuated by brief negative spikes, followed by a plateau phase, and ending with an inhibitory hyperpolarizing wave.
manganese toxicity resistant
Animals fail to exhibit toxicity to the concentration of manganese that elicits a response in control animals. Alternatively, animals require increased concentration or longer exposure to this compound to elicit the response compared to control animals. In C. elegans toxic responses to manganese include dopamine (DA) neuron neurodegeneration.
