Multiple Receptors Contribute to the Attractive Response of Caenorhabditis elegans to Pathogenic Bacteria

ABSTRACT Nematodes feed mainly on bacteria and sense volatile signals through their chemosensory system to distinguish food from pathogens. Although nematodes recognizing bacteria by volatile metabolites are ubiquitous, little is known of the associated molecular mechanism. Here, we show that the an...
