Cell Sorting daring Pattern Formation in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1981 Formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyostelium was investigated in slugs and submerged clumps of cells. Prestalk and prespore cells were identified by staining with vital dyes, which are shown to be stable cell markers.

Unraveling Adaptation in Eukaryotic Pathways: Lessons from Protocells [PDF]
, 2013 Eukaryotic adaptation pathways operate within wide-ranging environmental conditions without stimulus saturation. Despite numerous differences in the adaptation mechanisms employed by bacteria and eukaryotes, all require energy consumption.

Extracellular signaling in Dictyostelium
The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2019 In the last few decades, we have learned a considerable amount about how eukaryotic cells communicate with each other, and what it is the cells are telling each other. The simplicity of Dictyostelium discoideum, and the wide variety of available tools to study this organism, makes it the equivalent of a hydrogen atom for cell and developmental biology.

Comparative genomics of the social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum and Dictyostelium purpureum [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2011 Abstract Background The social amoebae (Dictyostelia) are a diverse group of Amoebozoa that achieve multicellularity by aggregation and undergo morphogenesis into fruiting bodies with terminally differentiated spores and stalk cells.
