Fig. 5. Effect of feeding different sterols on dauer arrest at 25°C.
(A) hsd-1(mg433) dauers induced by pheromone at 4 µl/plate.
(B) hsd-1(mg443); daf-36(k114) (light-gray bars) and
hsd-1(mg433); daf-28(tm2308) (dark-gray bars). Total numbers scored
are above the corresponding columns with the error bars representing the s.d.
based on at least three replicates. Number in parentheses indicate average
population density (worms/plate) ±s.d.
