Evolution and diversity of dictyostelid social amoebae.

Protist - 1 May 2012

Romeralo María, Escalante Ricardo, Baldauf Sandra L

Abstract excerpt

Dictyostelid social amoebae are a large and ancient group of soil microbes with an unusual multicellular stage in their life cycle. Taxonomically, they belong to the eukaryotic supergroup Amoebozoa, the sister group to Opisthokonta (animals + fungi). Roughly half of the ~150 known dictyostelid species were discovered during the last five years and probably many more remain to be found. The traditional...
