Caenorhabditis elegans 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'.

C. elegans (Bristol strain/N2), wild type hermaphrodite worms can be collected from Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC, University of Minnesota, Department of GCD, Minneapolis, MN, USA, funded by National Institute of Health). 2.4.2: Procurement of E. coli OP50 Bacterial Food Source
As we can see from the illustration, Type N2 Caenorhabditis Elegans has many fascinating aspects to explore.
The treatment of oxidatively challenged wild-type N2 C. elegans with trans-cinnamic acid at 50, 100 and 200 M. significantly (p < 0,05) increased the survival ratio and maximum lifespan of the nematodes compared to the control.
Caenorhabditis elegans Wild Type University of Minnesota.We describe the locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) using nonlinear dynamics. C. elegans is a commonly studied model organism based on ease of maintenance and simple neurological structure.
Wild type N2 C. elegans were examined as the control in comparison to other Caenorhabditis species, including, Caenorhabditis remanei (C. remanei), Caenorhabditis nouraguensis (C. nouraguensis), and Caenorhabditis portoensis (C. portoensis).
In this study we show that the longevity of the wild-type N2 Caenorhabditis elegans strain was significantly enhanced by dietary supplementation with linolenoyl-SG (lin-SG) thioester with respect to the ethyl ester of GSH, linolenic acid, or vitamin E. RNA interference analysis and activity...
