Fig. 1. The effect of preconditioning time at 98% RH (relative humidity) on the
survival of 10 strains of Panagrolaimus. Treated nematodes were
preconditioned at 98% RH at 20°C for 0–96 h, desiccated for 48 h
over activated silica gel, `prehydrated' at 100% RH for 24 h and rehydrated in
S Basal buffer for 24 h before survival was determined. Survival values are
the mean of five replicates ± S.E.M. Mixed stage populations
were used for all strains. For each preconditioning time means designated with
the same letter are not significantly different (ANOVA, P<0.05).
The full names of the Panagrolaimus species and strains used in this
experiment are as follows: Panagrolaimus sp. (PS1732);
Panagrolaimus rigidus (AF40); Panagrolaimus detritophagus
(P. det; BSS8); Panagrolaimus sp. (BW287); Panagrolaimus sp.
(PS443); Panagrolaimus sp. (PS1579); Panagrolaimus rigidus
(AF36); Panagrolaimus sp. (P. WS94); Panagrolaimus sp.
(PS1159) and Panagrolaimus superbus (P. sup; DF5050).
