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.

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 ...

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.

Digital image processing of optical density wave propagation in Dictyostelium discoideum and analysis of the effects of caffeine and ammonia [PDF]
, 1989 Waves of chemotactic movement during the early phase of aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum were analyzed by digital image processing in a manner that immediately shows the following parameters: wave propagation velocity, period length, wave ...

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.
