Figure 8

Impact of Caryocar villosum fruit shells (CV) on the feeding behavior, development, and reproduction of wild-type worms. (a) E. coli OP50 growth and food intake by means of bacterial clearance. (b) Body area of wild-type worms on the first day of adulthood. (c) Brood size. Data are representative of three independent experiments. Bacterial growth and intake are presented as fold calculated from the absorbance at day 0. Body area is expressed as percentage compared to the untreated control (). Brood size represents the number of eggs laid per worm during the reproductive period ().
