    Commensal E. coli-derived indole extends lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. (A) Kaplan–Meier lifespan curves of wild-type C. elegans N2 on E. coli K12, which produces indole, or E. coli K12ΔtnaA, which does not. Graph represents seven independent experiments, n > 500 worms per condition). (B) Maximal lifespan obtained from at least three independent experiments comparing K12 vs. K12ΔtnaA or K12ΔtnaA plus indole (Indole) vs. K12ΔtnaA plus vehicle (Vehicle). (C) Lifespan curves of N2 on K12ΔtnaA supplemented with either 250 μM indole or vehicle (Methanol). Graph combines three independent experiments with n > 490 worms per condition. (D) Kaplan–Meier lifespan curves of N2 on K12 supplemented with either 100 μM indole or vehicle (n > 150 animals per condition). (E) Survival curves of N2 at 35 °C (day 2 or day 18) from K12ΔtnaA plus vehicle (Vehicle) or K12ΔtnaA plus indole (Indole). n = 25 animals per condition. (F) Survival of day 4 adult N2 animals at 35 °C grown in vehicle or indole without bacteria.

(J) Healthspan and frail span measurements of N2 adults grown either on K12ΔtnaA-vehicle (Vehicle) or K12ΔtnaA-indole (Indole) conditions. Values for motility in liquid, pharyngeal pumping rate, and paralysis events were obtained from G, H, and I, respectively. (K) Healthspan values normalized with maximum lifespan set at 100%. (L) Lifespan of germ-free wild-type Drosophila melanogaster w1118 monoassociated with either K12 or K12ΔtnaA (n > 60 animals per condition). (M) Climbing assay of young (2 d), and older (20 d) adult germ-free w1118 flies monoassociated with either K12 or K12ΔtnaA (n > 30 animals per condition). (N) Heat stress resistance assay with conventionally raised streptomycin-treated w1118 flies, fed either K12, or K12ΔtnaA, or vehicle (Methanol) or 250 μM indole (n > 30 animals per condition). G–I and L–N are representative of at least two independent experiments. P values of percent survival curves were calculated with log-rank test. Values of B, F–I, and M and N represent mean values ± SEM, and t tests were performed to calculate P values. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
