The mating reaction (macrocyst formation) and vegetative compatibility (which is believed to be associated with only the mating type locus in D. discoideum) of asexual, bisexual and homothallic strains of Dictyostelium discoideum were examined. Three asexual strains were vegetatively compatible with

Stream formation and spiral wave behaviour during the aggregation of Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd) are studied in a model based on the Martiel-Goldbeter equations for cAMP relay, combined with chemotactic motion of Dd cells. The results show that stream formation occurs if the turnover rate of intra
The cellular slime molds arise by a n aggregation of amocbac, arid the resulting cell mass often will wander some distance over tlie surface of the substratum before rising into the a i r to fruit. The fruiting body consists of a single or branched stalk made up of large vlrcuolate amoebae encased i
Aggregation of Dictyostelium amoebae is inhibited by light. White light intensities >102 laW-cm 2 cause an inhibition which reaches a saturation at 2.103 laW" cm-2. The action spectrum, based on photon fluence -response curves, shows a major peak around 405 nm and extends through most of the visible
