Fig. 3. Chemotaxis results of Pristionchus exposed to soil- and
insect-derived bacteria. (A) Chemotactic response of P. pacificus,
P. entomophagus and P. maupasi after 24 h exposure to five
different soil-derived bacteria isolated from adult P. entomophagus.
Significant differences between number of live progeny and survival are shown
for P. pacificus only (*P
0.05 and
**P
0.001 using one way analysis of variance). Bars
represent ±1 s.e.m. (B) Chemotactic response of P. pacificus,
P. entomophagus and P. maupasi exposed to
cockchafer-associated bacteria (isolated from P. maupasi).
Significant differences between number of live progeny and survival are shown
for P. pacificus only (*P
0.05 and
**P
0.001 using one way analysis of variance). Bars
represent ±1 s.e.m.
