I thought this was important enough in itself to have it's own thread.

The mutants (the genetically altered) nematodes have especially THICK FIBERS as part of their bodies.

Myosin and paramyosin of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos assemble into nascent structures distinct from thick filaments and multi-filament assemblages -- Epstein et al. 122 (4): 845 -- The Journal of Cell Biology

ATPase Characteristics of Myosin from Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans Purified by an Improved Method. Formation of Myosin-Phosphate-ADP Complex and ATP-Induced Fluorescence Enhancement -- TANII et al. 98 (5): 1201 -- Journal of Biochemistry

Also they have ENHANCED their flourescent properties (see above link).
