ad810 is homozygous lethal. ad810/+ is Egl and it suppresses gpb-2. gpb-2 phenotype is rather subtle: they are slightly starved, slightly longer than normal, and tend to be loopy in their movements (they make abnormally deep bends). Hets should be Egl and non-Eat. On most E. coli strains gpb-2 grows rather poorly, especially if the plates are older so that there is a thick and tough lawn. On such plates there will be a lot of gpb-2 larval arrest, and those that don't arrest will grow slowly. The hets should easily outgrow the gpb-2 homozygotes. [gpb-2 is also hypersensitive to the drug arecoline: they won't grow on 5 mM. The hets will grow even better than WT on 5 mM arecoline.] gpb-2(ad541) previously called eat-11(ad541).

Suppressor of gpb-2 (a.k.a. eat-11) arecoline hypersensitivity. Unc. Egl.

Unc. Semidominant Eat (TB relaxation defective).

n582 is Egl, Lon, slow & floppy. Suppressed by ad952, which is semidominant. Strain is slightly Dpy and the pharyngeal bulb occasionally shows delayed relaxation and repolarization.

Male-female strain. Maintain by mating. Strain used for sequencing. DF5081 is the strain of Caenorhabditis japonica that Karin Kiontke generated with 20x incrossing of DF5080. http://genome.wustl.edu/pub/organism/Invertebrates/Caenorha bditis_japonica/assembly/Caenorhabditis_japonica-3.0.2/ASSE MBLY

Formerly known as Rhabditis axei. Isolated by Elie S. Dolgin in 2006 from fungus at Limuru, Kenya (1º05'S 36º39'E); isolate number LI-OM-B-1&4. First frozen by Fitch laboratory 9/5/2006. Gonochoristic. Grows well on NGM plates and OP50 at 20-25C. Freezes easily with C. elegans protocols with >20% viability. DF5098 was verified to be R. axei by intercrossing it with DF5006 and observing that their resulting F1 and F2 hybrid offspring were healthy and fertile. At 33C, DF5098 can live for up to three days, although they developmentally arrest as late larvae or young adults, fail to produce offspring, and eventually die; in contrast, DF5006 either dies or arrests as first-stage (L1) larvae. Returning DF5098 to 20C from 33C rescues them from developmental arrest and death, and allows them to become fertile adults; in contrast, when DF5006 L1 larvae are returned to 20C, they sometimes grow to later larvae, but never grow to fertile adults. Thus, DF5098 shows clearly superior resistance to heat over DF5006; it shows somewhat lower fertility than DF5097 (which also withstands 33C) after being returned to 20C.

Although this strain is maintainable as a homozygote it produces many dead embryos (~80%) and has a low viable brood size (~24 ± 18). Thus, the GFP tag compromises CYB-3 function.
