Abstract excerpt
In this study, we investigated the chemotactic response of a wild-type (N2) nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans) to a water-soluble attractant, sodium acetate, after pre-exposure to the chemical. The chemotactic response to 1.0 M sodium acetate of the non-exposed control nematodes was lower than that of the nematodes that were pre-exposed to 1.0 M sodium acetate for 90 min (p < 0.05). The increase in the response to...
