- dauer gut variant
Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of the chain of cuboidal cells which form a central lumen lined by microvilli that allow the passage of food, compared to control. Food passes from the posterior pharynx to the intestine where it is digested and then on to the rectum which processes the waste products for excretion.
- gut granule development variant
Any variation in the progression of the different inclusions within the intestinal cytoplasm, including birefringent crystalline objects and other dark-staining endosomes over time compared to control. In C. elegans these contents might include glycogen granules (polysaccharide storage), rhabditin (carbohydrate storage), yolk granules (lipid and protein), and concentrated waste products (Wormatlas).
- gut granule biogenesis reduced
Animals lack birefringent containing compartments in embryonic intestinal cells; however, these compartments appear in adult stages.
- intestinal development variant
Variations in the progression of the intestine over time from its initial formation to its mature structure compared to control.
- gut obstructed
Any variation in the developmental progression of the intestine that leads to a blockage in the alimentary canal.
- gut on the exterior
An epidermal enclosure defect that results in internal organs lying on the outside of the embryo.
- no gut granules
Animals lack the different inclusions within the intestinal cytoplasm, including birefringent crystalline objects and other dark-staining endosomes. In C. elegans these contents typically include glycogen granules (polysaccharide storage), rhabditin (carbohydrate storage), yolk granules (lipid and protein), and concentrated waste products (Wormatlas).
- gut Enterobacteriaceae bloom
Animals exhibit a greater abundance of bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family in the gut, compared to controls.
- gut granules enlarged
Animals exhibit larger inclusions within the intestinal cytoplasm, including birefringent crystalline objects and other dark-staining endosomes. In C. elegans these contents typically include glycogen granules (polysaccharide storage), rhabditin (carbohydrate storage), yolk granules (lipid and protein), and concentrated waste products (Wormatlas).
- gut granule morphology variant
Any variation in the morphology of the different inclusions within the intestinal cytoplasm, including birefringent crystalline objects and other dark-staining endosomes compared to control. In C. elegans these contents might include glycogen granules (polysaccharide storage), rhabditin (carbohydrate storage), yolk granules (lipid and protein), and concentrated waste products (Wormatlas).
