We have observed IPR reporter fluorescence in reporter C. elegans co-cultured with the wild isolate JNS_10! JNS_10 was isolated from a mutsu apple found at Highland Orchards in West Chester, PA. The reporter appears to be expressed in intestine on the side closest to the head. The next step will be to test whether thisContinue reading “Infection transmission from JNS_10!”
