Caenorhabditis elegans survival when fed Enterococcus italicus strain TP 1.5 and Lactococcus garvieae strains TB25 and LG9, respectively. The tested strains were grown on solid BHI medium under aerobic conditions (a) and under anaerobic followed by aerobic conditions (b). L4-stage C. elegans was transferred onto the lawns of tested strains, incubated at 25 °C and scored for survival. Symbols: Filled black circle Escherichia coli strain OP50 (positive control), filled square L. garvieae strain TB 25, X E. italicus strain TP 1.5, filled diamond L. garvieae strain LG9. Expanded view C. elegans survival, expressed in hours, when the worm was fed E. italicus grown under anaerobic/aerobic conditions in the presence (filled diamond) or absence (filled circle) of exogenous catalase
