Growth of Caenorhabditis elegans in Defined Media Is Dependent on Presence of Particulate Matter

Caenorhabditis elegans are typically cultured in a monoxenic medium consisting of live bacteria. However, this introduces a secondary organism to experiments, and restricts the manipulation of the nutritional environment. Due to the intricate link between genes and environment, greater control and u...
