determined by an inability to move in response to touch. C. elegans
develop through four larval stages following hatching and prior to
adulthood. Adult C. elegans are reproductive for about the rst week
of adulthood followed by approximately two weeks of
post-reproductive adulthood prior to death. Life span is most
commonly measured in the laboratory by maintaining the worms on the
surface of a nutrie- agar medium (Nematode Growth Medium, NGM) with
E. coli OP50 as the bacterial food source (REF). Alternative
culture conditions have been described in liquid media; however,
these are not widely used for longevity studies. Longevity of the
commonly used wild type C. elegans hermaphrodite (N2) varies ? from
16 to 23 days under standard laboratory conditions (20 C, NGM agar,
E. coli OP50 food source). Life span can be increased by
maintaining animals at lower ambient temperatures and shortened by
raising the ambient temperature. Use of a killed bacterial food
source, rather than live E. coli, increases lifespan by 2-4 days,
and growth of adult animals in the absence of bacteria (axenic
growth or bac- rial deprivation) increases median life span to
32-38 days [3, 23, 24]. Under both standard laboratory conditions
and bacterial deprivation conditions, wild-derived C. elegans
hermaphrodites exhibit longevity comparable to N2 animals [25].
