Abstract excerpt
Caenorhabditis elegans proliferates poorly in the presence of abundant Actinobacteria from its natural ecology, but it is unknown why. Here, we show how perturbed levels of hydrogen sulfide modulate the growth rate of both C. elegans and Actinobacteria. From a forward genetic selection, we find C. elegans mutants with faster growth on an Actinobacteria Microbacterium species and mutant alleles of conserved...
