Abstract

In chemotactic studies employing countercurrent separation the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was found to avoid D‐tryptophan with a threshold in the range 10^βˆ’4^ to 10^βˆ’3^ M. There was no response to L‐tryptophan up to 10^βˆ’2^ M although it appeared to partially in hibit the response to D‐tryptophan.

We report that the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can respond to a variety of stressors (compounds known to induce the production of cellular stress proteins in model biological systems), by ceasing pharyngeal pumping. This phenomenon results in both a reduction in intake of the stresso
