Developmental decisions in Dictyostelium discoideum
Developmental Biology, 2005 Dictyostelium discoideum is an excellent system in which to study developmental decisions. Synchronous development is triggered by starvation and rapidly generates a limited number of cell types. Genetic and image analyses have revealed the elegant intricacies associated with this simple development system.

Alkaline Phosphatase in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1965 Several phosphatases have been demonstrated in Dictyostelium discoideum. The alkaline phosphatase, pH optimum 9·0, is a 5′-nucleotidase, attacking adenosine monophosphate and deoxyadenosine monophosphate, but catalyses also hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate.

Role of bacterial surface structures on the interaction of Klebsiella pneumoniae with phagocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Phagocytosis is a key process of the immune system. The human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well known example of a pathogen highly resistant to phagocytosis.

Measuring cell adhesion forces with the atomic force microscope at the molecular level [PDF]
, 2002 In the past 25 years many techniques have been developed to characterize cell adhesion and to quantify adhesion forces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to measure forces in the pico-newton range, an experimental technique known as force ...

The dictyostelium kinome--analysis of the protein kinases from a simple model organism. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 Dictyostelium discoideum is a widely studied model organism with both unicellular and multicellular forms in its developmental cycle. The Dictyostelium genome encodes 285 predicted protein kinases, similar to the count of the much more advanced ...

PLoS Genetics, 2009 Organisms like Dictyostelium discoideum, often referred to as DNA damage "extremophiles", can survive exposure to extremely high doses of radiation and DNA crosslinking agents. These agents form highly toxic DNA crosslinks that cause extensive DNA damage.

Cooperative cell motility during tandem locomotion of amoeboid cells. [PDF]
, 2016 Streams of migratory cells are initiated by the formation of tandem pairs of cells connected head to tail to which other cells subsequently adhere. The mechanisms regulating the transition from single to streaming cell migration remain elusive, although ...

Dictyostelium discoideum transformation by oscillating electric field electroporation
BioTechniques, 2003 Dictyostelium discoideum has been used as a genetically tractable model organism to study many biological phenomena. High-efficiency transformation is a prerequisite for successful genetic screens such as mutant complementation, identification of ...
