Preparation of Arrested L1s For all experiments described here, young adult worms grown at 20oC (except for daf-2(e979), which were grown at 15oC) were dissolved and embryos were collected by sodium-hypochlorite treatment as described [S1]. Embryos were allowed to develop and hatch either on standard nematode growth medium (NGM) plus 1.7% agar in Petri plates seeded with E. coli OP50 or in 5 ml S basal buffer [S1] in a test tube on a carousel. We found that hatching larvae in aqueous buffer (S basal) on a carousel results in the most immediate, reproducible arrest possible. Initial experiments were done with larvae hatched on sterile NGM plates (no OP50), but variable amounts of L1 development occur before arrest under these conditions (equivalent to as much as 6–8 hr development at 20oC). It is unclear whether this variable, delayed L1 arrest on NGM plates is due to the smell of the medium, nutrition acquired from the medium, or the accessibility of carcasses, egg cases, etc. on the agar medium. Consistent with sterile medium providing nutrition, larvae that burrow in the NGM agar often develop beyond the L1 stage. We also observed rare, nonarresting worms hatched in S basal when the tube containing the S basal was allowed to sit still as opposed to being rotated on a carousel, presumably resulting from cannibalism at the bottom of the tube.
