Survival of the worms grown with different bacterial isolates over time. Survival curves are shown. Growth with Chryseobacterium sp. CHNTR56 MYb120 alone extended worm maximum lifespan (P = 0.0122), and the combination of both native bacteria isolates (Chryseobacterium sp. CHNTR56 MYb120 and Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131) increased worm median and maximum lifespans (P < 0.0001), compared to the worms grown E. coli OP50. This experiment was replicated three times and worms were kept at 21 °C
