| Caenorhabditis elegans | Nematode much used in lineage studies since the number of nuclei is determined and the nervous system is relatively simple. The organism can be maintained axenically and there are mutants in behaviour, in muscle proteins and in other features. Sperm are amoeboid and move by an unknown mechanism which does not seem to depend upon actin or tubulin. (18 Nov 1997) |

| caenorhabiditis elegans | <zoology> This is a free-living (non parasitic) species of nematode which makes a good model organism for biological study because it has a small genome of only six chromosomes. It also has a short generation time of about three days (at room temperature), and is easy to grow at high densities (up to 10,000 worms on one Petri dish). Caenorhabditis Elegans has been thoroughly studied by geneticists, developmental biologists and neurologists. The worms can be used to study genetic manipulation, gene therapy, and the molecular basis of differentiation during development. Much of the world's knowledge about aging, inheritance, and the factors which control gene expression during development comes from studying this and other nematodes. The full taxonomic classification of Caenorhabditis Elegans is: kingdom Animalia, phylum Nematoda, class Secernentea, subclass Rhabditia, order Rhabditida, family Rhabditidae. (21 Mar 1998) |
| Cunninghamella elegans | One of several species of fungi that can cause disseminated zygomycosis in man, and possibly abortion in cattle, swine, and other animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
