Figure 1. Locomotion quiescence in C. elegans following infection by virulent S. marcesens: A. Minutes of quiescence in the first hour following 48 hours of exposure to S. marcesens pigmented (S. mar P) (n=12), S. marcescens non-pigmented (S. mar NP) (n=12), mixed S. marcesens pigmented and E. coli (n=12), or E. coli (n=4) *p<.05, **p<.01, based on Dunn's multiple comparisons test. B. Percentage of total worms removed from the edge of the plate at 30 and 60 minutes in a motivated displacement assay after 48 hours of exposure on S. marcesens pigmented (n=95), S. marcescens non-pigmented (n=126), or E. coli (n=102) (data points show mean of three trials with standard deviation) *p<.05 based on Tukey's multiple comparisons test. C. Survival assay showing living worms counted each day on each strain of S. marcesens and E. coli for six days (n=50 for each group) **p<.01, ***p<.001, ****p<.0001, based on log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. D. Relative quiescence of mutant strains as compared to wild-type in the first hour following 48 hours of exposure to S. marcesens pigmented. All mutants are normalized to wild-type controls measured on the same WorMotel. No significant difference between wild-type and mutant C. elegans based on Dunn's multiple comparisons test (n=16 per group).
