Bacteria. Comamonas sp., a bacterium on which C. elegans grows particularly well. Str-R. DA1877 is derived from a bacterium isolated from soil in the Dallas area by Boris Shtonda in 2002. That strain was called H39 in Avery, L, Shtonda, BB (2003), "Food transport in the C elegans pharynx", J Exp Biol 206: 2441-2457. It was identified as genus Comamonas by 16S rDNA sequencing, as described in the paper. L. Avery isolated a spontaneous streptomycin-resistant variant by selecting for growth in LB broth + 200 ug/ml streptomycin sulfate. This strain, when spread on NGMSR plates, gave rise to faster-growing papillae; one of these was streaked out to get DA1877. Biosafety Level: BSL-1.

Bacteria. Str-R. L10 papilla 2; sporulation-defective mutant. This is a low-quality food that is difficult for the worms to eat, and is useful for studies of the effect of food on behavior, physiology, etc. [NOTE: This strain grows better on NGM than on LB media in CGC.] Described in J Exp Biol 206: 2441-2457. Biosafety Level: BSL-1.

Bacteria. Str-R. Streak and maintain on Str+ plates. NGMSR+. Faster growing papilla on NGMSR. [NOTE: This strain grows better on NGM than on LB media in CGC.] Biosafety Level: BSL-1.

Linkage mapping strain. Maintain at 15C.

Abnormal feeding. Corpus and terminal bulb contractions unsynchronized.

Most homozygotes arrest in L1, escapers grow up to become very starved adults with deformed pharynges with abnormally small terminal bulb, thick nucleated isthmus. Weakly cold sensitive. Makes dauers that don't recover; doesn't survive freezing well.
