Modulation of sensory perception by hydrogen peroxide enables Caenorhabditis elegans to find a niche that provides both food and protection from hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is the most common chemical threat that organisms face. Here, we show that H(2)O(2) alters the bacterial food preference of Caenorhabditis elegans, enabling the nematodes to find a safe environment with food. H(2)O(2) induces the nematodes to leave food patches of labora...
