The aggregation process in populations of Dictyostelium discoideum is mediated by cell communication through cyclic AMP (cAMP) signals and the chemotactic response of the cells to concentration gradients of cAMP. In the present paper several simple algorithms that describe cell behavior are used to

## Abstract We have purified actin and my osin‐like proteins from amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum. These proteins are very similar in their physical and enzymatic properties to muscle actin and myosin. Most importantly, they form thin and thick filaments, respectively, and Dictyostelium actin a
Dictyostelium discoideum slugs show a pronounced thermotaxis. We have modelled the motion of the D. discoideum slug in the absence and in the presence of a thermal gradient. Our model is an extension of the hybrid cellular automata/partial di!erential equation model, as formulated by Savill and Hoge
