TRANSLOCATIONS IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM [PDF]
Genetics, 1985 ABSTRACT Fourteen translocations of independent origin were identified in Dictyostelium discoideum on the basis of segregation anomalies of diploids heterozygous for these chromosome rearrangements, all of which led to the cosegregation of unlinked markers.

Chemotaxis of Dictyostelium discoideum: collective oscillation of cellular contacts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Chemotactic responses of Dictyostelium discoideum cells to periodic self-generated signals of extracellular cAMP comprise a large number of intricate morphological changes on different length scales.

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.

The role of the cortical cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 1996 We generated Dictyostelium double mutants lacking the two F-actin crosslinking proteins alpha-actinin and gelation factor by inactivating the corresponding genes via homologous recombination.

Role of epigenetics in unicellular to multicellular transition in Dictyostelium
Genome Biology, 2021 Background The evolution of multicellularity is a critical event that remains incompletely understood. We use the social amoeba, Dictyostelium discoideum, one of the rare organisms that readily transits back and forth between both unicellular and ...

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 ...

Eat Prey, Live: Dictyostelium discoideum As a Model for Cell-Autonomous Defenses
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The soil-dwelling social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum feeds on bacteria. Each meal is a potential infection because some bacteria have evolved mechanisms to resist predation. To survive such a hostile environment, D.

Twisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs [PDF]
, 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.

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.
