Age-dependent changes in mobility and separation of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

摘要: Easy classification and separation of aged C. elegans was performed on the basis difference in movement activity; that is, sluggish but rhythmically locomoting worms (type I), locomote are irregular II), defective locomotion responsible for stimulus touch III). The residual life span after also followed, addition to pumping frequency, sinusoidal activity liquid resistancy nile blue each type. These parameters were well correlated length type, aging nematode seems proceed order type I, II III.
