Caenorhabditis elegans – wolno żyjące, przezroczyste nicienie o długości około 1 mm. C. elegans jest pierwszym organizmem wielokomórkowym, którego genom (w 1998 roku) zsekwencjonowano (odczytano jego sekwencję nukleotydów w DNA), oraz pierwszym i dotychczas jedynym organizmem ze znanym kompletnym konektomem.
Caenorhabditis elegans (/ ˌ s iː n oʊ r æ b ˈ d aɪ t ə s ˈ ɛ l ə ɡ æ n s /) is a free-living transparent nematode about 1 mm in length that lives in temperate soil environments. It is the type species of its genus. The name is a blend of the Greek caeno-(recent), rhabditis (rod-like) and Latin elegans (elegant).
CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS AND IMMUNITY. C. elegans is a free-living nematode that is found in soil and in compost heaps. The population is dominated by self-fertilizing hermaphrodites (XX) with a rare occurrence of males (X0), who have a distinct morphology.
1 lut 2023 · Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been applied in multifield scientific studies with a long history and well-explained mechanisms. Based on systematic background, this model organism has been led to food science for about two decades, mainly contributing to food toxicology and nutrition evaluation.
1 cze 2020 · Caenorhabditis elegans is a non-parasitic, free-living nematode found worldwide feeding on various bacterial species. Besides, the worm can be also easily cultivated in large numbers on agar plates or in liquid medium supplemented with Escherichia coli. This simple multicellular organism exists primarily as a hermaphrodite, although males arise ...
Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful experimental organism for a number of traits that facilitate genetic and genomic analysis, including the hermaphroditic lifestyle, short 2–3 week lifespan, and small genome, which offers an ideal compromise between complexity and tractability.
19 cze 2008 · Caenorhabditis elegans is a saprophytic nematode species that has often been described as inhabiting soil and leaf-litter environments in many parts of the world ; recent reports indicate that it is often carried by terrestrial gastropods and other small organisms in the soil habitat (Caswell-Chen et al., 2005; Kiontke and Sudhaus, 2006).
