Abstract excerpt
The effects of higher concentrations of atmospheric oxygen on the lifespans of wild type and a temperature-sensitive zyg-9(b244) mutant of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans were examined. Their mean and maximum lifespans decreased with increasing oxygen concentration. The mean and maximum lifespans of the wild type under 60, 75, and 90% oxygen shrunk by 17 and 10, 31 and 31, and 40 and 41%, respectively, as...
