Light and PA did not show overt toxicity.
(A) Quantification of lipid peroxides in animals raised on wild bacteria/fungi under cyclic light in the presence or absence of PA for 2 days. Replicate measures are shown with averages and 95% confidence intervals. *P-value < 0.05 determined by unpaired, two sided, Student’s t-test. (B) Quantification of protein carbonyls in the worms described in panel A. (C) Number of offspring (eggs and worms) per adult worm at 4 and 5-days of treatment. (D) Medium life spans. (E) Fold change in RNA transcripts as determined by RNA-sequencing in light exposed, 2-day old animals in the presence PA relative to light exposed animals in the absence of PA. Significance was defined by a Q-value < 0.05.
