  1. a Worms were age-synchronized by a bleaching procedure. Embryos were placed on mNGM agar plates containing E. coli OP50 or S. typhimurium SL1344 and incubated at 25°C. The L4 stage was designated as day 0. A total of 100 worms were used per lifespan assay. Bacterial colonization of the intestinal tract was determined at day 2 by washing and grinding 10 worms, and plating worm lysates on MacConkey agar. All assays were performed at least three times
