Fluoroacetic Acid Is a Potent and Specific Inhibitor of Reproduction in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Fluoroacetic acid is known to lead to inhibition of aconitase and block both the Krebs and glyoxylate cycles. In this study, we discovered it to be a potent and specific inhibitor of reproduction in a bioassay using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Fluoroacetic acid added to the growth medium re...
