[Celegans] C. elegans diet

[Val Smith]

Dear Colleagues:

An undergraduate in my laboratory is interested in working with C. 
elegans grown in semi-continuous liquid culture.  Most published 
studies that I have found use monocultures of eubacteria as the 
primary food source; one study used yeast cells.  I was wondering 
whether small unicellular algae (such as the green alga Chlorella) 
can successfully be used as an alternative food source as well?

Many thanks for your kind help!

Best regards,
Val
