Figure 2:

P. superbus tests after 7 d of Ga immersion. A: Survival (percentage) of L2 nematode larvae, B: population growth (output/input ratio) over 20 and 40 d after treatments. Legends: negative control 1 (NC1) – membranes with desiccated worms, without Gallium, in 10% RH; Gallium treatment 1 (GT1) – membranes with desiccated worms covered by Gallium in 10% RH; hydrated control (HC1) – membranes with hydrated worms covered by Gallium in 100% RH; negative control (NC2) – membranes with desiccated worms, without Gallium, in 99% RH; Gallium treatment 2 (GT2) – membranes with desiccated worms covered by Gallium in 99% RH. Different letters (a and b) means statistical difference (P < 0.05) between treatments.
