Twisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g.

Mycobacterium marinum Degrades Both Triacylglycerols and Phospholipids from Its Dictyostelium Host to Synthesise Its Own Triacylglycerols and Generate Lipid Inclusions

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2017
During a tuberculosis infection and inside lipid-laden foamy macrophages, fatty acids (FAs) and sterols are the major energy and carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Exploring Virulence Determinants of Filamentous Fungal Pathogens through Interactions with Soil Amoebae

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Infections with filamentous fungi are common to all animals, but attention is rising especially due to the increasing incidence and high mortality rates observed in immunocompromised human individuals. Here, Aspergillus fumigatus and other members of its

Dictyostelium discoideum as a Model for Investigating Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a model organism that is used to investigate many cellular processes including chemotaxis, cell motility, cell differentiation, and human disease pathogenesis.

Investigation of a potential role for aldose reductase AlrA in tetrahydropteridine synthesis in Dictyostelium discoideum Ax2

open access: yesPteridines, 2017
Dictyostelium discoideum Ax2 is well-known for the synthesis of d-threo-tetrahydrobiopterin (DH4) with a smaller amount of l-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).

Web-enabled knowledge-based analysis of genetic data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We present a web-based implementation of GenePath, an intelligent assistant tool for data analysis in functional genomics. GenePath considers mutant data and uses expert-defined patterns to find gene-to-gene or gene-to-outcome relations.

The physiological regulation of macropinocytosis during Dictyostelium growth and development

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2017
Macropinocytosis is a conserved endocytic process used by Dictyostelium amoebae for feeding on liquid medium. To further Dictyostelium as a model for macropinocytosis, we developed a high-throughput flow cytometry assay to measure macropinocytosis, and ...

TheDictyosteliumGenome [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2006
The 34 Mb genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is carried on 6 chromosomes and has been fully sequenced by an international consortium. The sequence was assembled on the classical and physical maps that had been built up over the years and refined by HAPPY mapping.

Patterns of cell movement within the Dictyostelium slug revealed by cell type-specific, surface labeling of living cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
There are cells acattered in the rear, prespore region of the Dictyostelium slug that share many of the properties of the prestalk cells and that are therefore called anterior-like cells (ALCs).

dictyExpress: a web-based platform for sequence data management and analytics in Dictyostelium and beyond

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Dictyostelium discoideum, a soil-dwelling social amoeba, is a model for the study of numerous biological processes. Research in the field has benefited mightily from the adoption of next-generation sequencing for genomics and transcriptomics ...
