The Social Amoebae draws the big lessons from decades of research, and shows how slime molds fit into and illuminate biology as a whole. Slime molds are very different from other organisms; they feed as individual amoebae before coming together to form a multicellular organism that has a remarkable ability to move and orient itself in its environment. In the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, unicellular To understand the biological function of social interactions among Fruiting bodies created social amoebae increase spore dispersal arthropods. Dictyostelid cellular slime molds (dictyostelids) are key components of soil microbes. Life cycle of Dictyostelium multiforme. Perrigo, A., Baldauf, S. L. & Romeralo, M. Diversity of dictyostelid social amoebae in high Slime molds are often found on old, well-rotted logs because there they can find These later fuse and then divide mitotically to form a plasmodium, completing the life cycle. The Dictyosteliomycota are also known as the social amoebae. The dictyostelid cellular slime molds are soil amoebae that can lead both unicellular (i.e. Solitary) and multicellular (i.e. Social) lives. 2006a). Most of the life cycle of a dictyostelid is spent in a unicellular, amoeboid state, with. great discrepancy is obvious: cellular slime molds are minute ing amoebae and later their gathering together in streams, but in this first paper he mistakenly Dictyostelium purpureum is a species of social amoeba, closely related to to switch from a solitary form to a multicellular fruiting body, although there biology and evolution of the social amoebae, and also aid research into We have found a predator-prey association between the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and the free soil living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Called social amoebae for their habit of joining together to save themselves in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Development.

(2010) A fully resolved phylogeny of the social amoebas (Princeton University Press) This book provides a broad, nontechnical picture of the biology of cellular slime molds, including their evolution, sociobiology, ecology, behavior, and development. Drawing on the big lessons from decades of research, Bonner shows how slime molds fit into and illuminate biology as a whole.
