Figure 1. Lifespan and lipofuscin deposition (LFD) with age in N. furzeri GRZ and N. kadleci. (A) Kaplan Meier estimates of survival for populations of N. furzeri GRZ, F1, F2 and N. kadleci. (B-D) Quantification of LFD: (B) N. kadleci at four time points. (C) N. furzeri GRZ at two time points. (D) N. furzeri GRZ and N. kadleci at the same chronological age. Error bars represent standard deviation; significant differences are indicated by asterisks: (*) = P < 0.05, (**) = P < 0.01 and (***) = P < 0.001, T-test.
