Article

The cellulose synthase gene of Dictyostelium.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 29 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

Cellulose is a major component of the extracellular matrices formed during development of the social amoeba, Dictyostelium discoideum. We isolated insertional mutants that failed to accumulate cellulose and had no cellulose synthase activity at any stage of development. Development proceeded normally in the null mutants up to the beginning of stalk formation, at which point the culminating structures collapsed...
