Figure 6
The anterior part of the intestine is twisted in a direction opposite to that of the pharynx. Wild-type (N2) and mnm-4 mutant adults expressing ajm-1::gfp reporter were photographed to reveal not only the twisting within the pharynx of the mutant, but also the opposite twist in its anterior intestine. The dashed line indicates the border between the pharynx (to the left) and intestine. The arrowheads follow a stretch of adherens junctions in the intestine of each animal.
