Caenorhabditis elegans (Maupas, 1899) Dougherty, 1953

カエノラブディティス・エレガンス Caenorhabditis elegans は、線形動物門クロマドラ綱プレクトゥス亜綱カンセンチュウ目カンセンチュウ科に属する線虫の1種。細胞系譜が明らかになっているなど、実験材料として非常に優れた性質をもつことから、モデル生物として広く利用されている。多細胞生物として最初に全ゲノム配列が解読された生物でもある。生物学の研究者にとってなじみ深く、C. elegans で広く通じ、日本語でも C. エレガンス(シー・エレガンス)と書かれることが多い(詳細は後記)。体長約1 mm(ミリメートル)で透明な体をもつ。
