Localization of actin in Dictyostelium amebas by immunofluorescence [PDF]
, 1977 Antibody prepared against avian smooth muscle actin has been used to localize actin in the slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. The distribution of actin in migrating cells is different from that in feeding cells.

Dictyostelium discoideum as a non‐mammalian biomedical model
Microbial Biotechnology, 2021 Summary Dictyostelium discoideum is one of eight non‐mammalian model organisms recognized by the National Institute of Health for the study of human pathology. The use of this slime mould is possible owing to similarities in cell structure, behaviour and

Current 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.

Evolution of size and pattern in the social amoebas [PDF]
, 2007 A fundamental goal of biology is to understand how novel phenotypes evolved through changes in existing genes. The Dictyostelia or social amoebas represent a simple form of multicellularity, where starving cells aggregate to build fruiting structures ...
