Bimodal distribution of motility and cell fate in Dictyostelium discoideum.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jan 2012

Goury-Sistla Pavana, Nanjundiah Vidyanand, Pande Gopal

Abstract excerpt

Pre-starvation amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum exhibit random movements. Starved cells aggregate by directed movements (chemotaxis) towards cyclic AMP and differentiate into live spores or dead stalk cells. Many differences between presumptive spore and stalk cells precede differentiation. We have examined whether cell motility-related factors are also among them. Cell speeds and localisation of...
