The Nucleus of Intestinal Cells of the Bacterivore Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a Sensitive Sensor of Environmental Pollutants

GFP) revealed nuclear staining patterns that are specific for pollutants such as silica nanoparticles, BULK silica particles, silver nanoparticles, ionic AgNO3, and inorganic mercury (HgCl2). While the underlying molecular mechanisms need further investigation, cultivation of the reporter worms in liquid culture on microtiter plates now enables cost-effective screening of more pollutants and samples from the environment, e.g., mesocosm analyses. As C. elegans leads a dual life in the lab and in ecosystems, alteration of nuclear structure and function may likewise explain how environmental pollutants reduce the fitness of wild worms and thus may negatively affect biodiversity.
