Abstract excerpt
We used a photoactivatable fluid-phase marker to isolate a new collection of thermosensitive endocytosis mutants in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. All the strains were thermosensitive for growth on bacteria or axenic medium at 27 degrees C. Initial rates of endocytosis rapidly decreased upon incubation at the restrictive temperature, but surprisingly most of the strains showed a transient...
