Summary: We recently published a piece on the importance of temperature in C.elegans which got the whole InVivio Biosystems team thinking about C. elegans’ development, and how it can best be compared. As a result, we thought it would be fun to take pictures of C. elegans in the three most commonly used temperatures to …

When working with C. elegans it is vital that you can deftly handle them. Worm picking, however, is a skill where practice makes perfect. At InVivo Biosystems, we have been working with C. elegans for more than 8 years, and our scientists will share some of their tips and tricks for worm picking in this article. Read on!
Nematode worms such as Caenorhabditis elegans feed on bacteria as a food source. In the wild, C. elegans obtain various bacteria from rotting plants, fruit, and vegetation, but under laboratory conditions, C. elegans is normally cultured on agar plates with a standardized bacterial lawn. There are many bacterial diets used for culturing C. elegans. The …
