The complete mitochondrial genome of Dictyostelium intermedium
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Dictyostelium intermedium is a member of dictyostelids, the unicellular eukaryotes with a unique life cycle, including a social cycle. Despite the high diversity of dictyostelids, only five species' complete mitochondrial genome sequences were reported ...

Profilin isoforms in Dictyostelium discoideum
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2007 Eukaryotic cells contain a large number of actin binding proteins of different functions, locations and concentrations. They bind either to monomeric actin (G-actin) or to actin filaments (F-actin) and thus regulate the dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton.

Nucleases: From Primitive Immune Defenders to Modern Biotechnology Tools
Immunology, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 279-286, March 2025.The evolution of nucleases is a remarkable journey, starting as primitive bacterial defenders against bacteriophages. Over time, nucleases have adapted to specialised roles within the immune systems of all forms of life, culminating in humans, where DNases and RNases serve as key components of the immune system.

Dynamical strategies for obstacle avoidance during Dictyostelium discoideum aggregation: a Multi-agent system model [PDF]
, 2019 Chemotaxis, the movement of an organism in response to chemical stimuli, is a typical feature of many microbiological systems. In particular, the social amoeba \textit{Disctyostelium discoideum} is widely used as a model organism, but it is not still ...

Models of Dictyostelium discoideum Aggregation [PDF]
, 1997 Since its discovery in the 1940’s, the life cycle of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum has attracted the interest of developmental biologists. It involves a relatively simple transition from unicellular to multicellular organization. Briefly, amoebae feed on bacteria in the soil and divide.
