Responses to toxicity as measured by progeny output. a. C. elegans grown with Chryseobacterium sp. CHNTR56 MYb120 or Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131 provided a progeny output (%) greater than 50% (compared to untreated control) under SiO2 toxicity (50 μg/ml of SiO2) in the initial screening. b. The progeny output for the worms grown with Chryseobacterium sp. CHNTR56 MYb120 or Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131, compared to the worms grown with E. coli OP50, in the presence of SiO2 or juglone (50 μM) *: The progeny output for E. coli OP50 is the mean value calculated from each plate used (value for standard error of mean was negligible, 3.61%). ǂ: No progeny detectable under toxicity
