Abstract excerpt

Dictyostelium discoideum is a eukaryotic microbe feeding on soil bacteria. A first step towards describing the genetic structure of populations of this species was made by examining multiple isolates from a single locale. The isolates were grown clonally and their RFLP patterns compared, using a...
