mbk-1 promotes the expression of pathogen defense- and H2S/HCN metabolism genes. Gene expression levels were determined for the genes indicated in GSC(+) (a), GSC(−) (b), daf-2(+) (c) and daf-2(−) (d) by qPCR in day 2 adult worms. Data shown represent mean fold-changes ± SEM in mbk-1(−) relative to mbk-1(+) worms from four biological replicates. Statistical significance of expression differences was determined by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post tests (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001)
