Abstract
Indirect immunofluorescence with antibodies to microtubular proteins has been used to investigate the microtubule system of Dictyostelium discoideum vegetative amoebae and the action of several compounds that interfere with that system. All the inhibitors tested show an antimicrotubular effect.
Colchicine, vinblastine, nocodazole, thiabendazole, and isopropylβNβphenylβcarbamate (IPC) seem to act mainly by destroying microtubules leaving the appearance of nuclei associated organelles (NAOs) undisturbed. On the other hand griseofulvin also affects NAOs which disappear in treated cells.

Some studies have demonstrated that a few biological systems are affected by weak, extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), lower than 10 mT. However, to date there is scanty evidence of this effect on Protists in the literature. Due to their peculiarity as single-cell eukaryotic
