Cat. # 851 Effects of Alcohol on C. elegans
Growing Bacteria Overnight Plating Worms 15 min. Worm Growth 3-4 days Alcohol Experiment 45-60 min.
For 10 Groups. You will not believe how similar we are to worms! The genome of the tiny worm, Caenorhabditis elegans , was sequenced and found to be 40% similar to the human genome. It is now used as a model system by researchers to address fundamental questions in develop- mental biology, neurobiology and behavioral biology. The objective of this experiment is to observe and record the effects of alcohol on normal and alcohol mutant strains of Caenorhabditis elegans .

Cat. # 852 Chemotaxis: The Science of Attraction in C. elegans
For 10 Groups. All organisms are affected by “scent” molecules in the environment, including a multicellular organism called Caenorhabditis elegans . These worms are composed of 959 somatic cells, of which 300 are neurons comprising organs for taste, smell, temperature and touch. In this experiment, your students will observe and record the phenom- enon by which normal and mutant strains of C. elegans can direct their movement in response to certain chemicals in the environment.
