Growth

1 study

  1. Mouse fecal microbiota extract impairs growth in worms.

    “using samples extracted and left at room temperature after a long period of time resulted in robust avoidance and was detrimental for normal growth.”

Lifespan

1 study

  1. Mouse fecal microbiota extract has no effect on lifespan in worms.

    “Long-term freezing of feces before microbiota extraction modified composition but did not negatively impact subsequent worm development, fat accumulation, reproduction, and maximal lifespan”
