Visualization of c-di-GMP in multicellular Dictyostelium stages
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 The bacterial signaling molecule cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is only synthesized and utilized by the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum among eukaryotes.

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2006 Annexins are a highly conserved ubiquitous family of Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding proteins present in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Analysis of the Dictyostelium genome revealed the presence of two annexin genes, the annexin C1 gene (nxnA) giving rise to two isoforms of 47 and 51 kDa (previously synexin), and the annexin C2 gene (nxnB) coding for a 56-

Lysosomes appear as the auto-fluorescent vacuoles in Dictyostelium discoideum cells
Pteridines, 2016 Dictyostelium discoideum cells contain auto-fluorescent vacuoles. To determine the identity of these vacuoles, the fluorescent dye 4-nitro-7-(1-piperazinyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-PZ) was used to stain the lysosomes in D. discoideum cells. Neither the

Bacterial Survival in Dictyostelium [PDF]
BIO-PROTOCOL, 2017 We performed an assay to test the ability of different E. coli strains to survive inside amoebal cells after ingestion. In the assay we incubated bacteria together with cells of Dictyostelium discoideum for six hours. After co-incubation most of the uningested bacteria were removed by centrifugation and the remaining uningested bacteria were killed by ...

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

Frontiers 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
