Figure 4. Treatment with PQ severely affects the development of worms feeding on coQ-less B. subtilis and development of coQ-deficient clk-1 mutant worms. (A-C) Development of synchronized wild type N2 L1 larvae after 2, 3 and 4 days feeding on E. coli or B. subtilis with or without PQ treatment (0.1 mM). (A-C) Development of synchronized clk-1(qm30) L1 larvae after 3, 4 and 5 days feeding on E. coli or B. subtilis with or without PQ treatment (0.1 mM). (A-F) y-axis shows percentage of individuals that reached each developmental stage after the indicated time. x-axis shows developmental stages. Bars indicate the mean value ± S.D. n = 118-196 worms per group.
