Cellular Slime Molds
Author: John Tyler Bonner
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400876885
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Professor Bonner has rewritten more than half of this standard treatise to take account of the great amount of recent research on the cellular slime molds. He has included a larger selection of material, more figures and new plates. The bibliography has been greatly enlarged. Originally published in 1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Biodiversity, Taxonomy and Feeding Preferences of Cellular Slime Molds (dictyostelids) from the Main Island of Lubang, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines

Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
Cellular slime molds (dictyostelids) are single-called phagotrophic micropredators that consume bacteria. They are common inhabitants of soil microbial communities and are most abundant in forest soils. This study from coastal and mountain forests in the Island of Lubang, Occidental Mindoro during the dry and wet seasons. A total of eight species belonging to two genera were isolated, namely, Dictyostelium aureostipes, D. discoideum, D. laterosorum, D. mucoroides, D. purpureum, Dictyostelium sp., Polysphondylium and P. violaceum. It was observed that the percent yield of cellular slime molds increased significantly from the dry to the wet season. The clonal count of the isolated dictyostelids also showed a significant increase in the number of dictyostelids between the coastal and mountain forests, where more were seen in coastal forests. A distinct increase in biodiversity of cellular slime molds was also observed between the dry and wet seasons. A computations of the Simpson's Index of Diversity, coefficient of community (CC) and percent similarity (PS), and interpretation of cluster analysis results likewise supported this observation. Investigation on the feeding preferences of the isolated dictyostelids showed that among yeasts and gram negative and gram-positive bacteria, cellular slime molds are able to grow best on gram-negative bacteria, particularly E. coli.

Development and Differentiation in the Cellular Slime Moulds
Author: P. Cappuccinelli
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483163717
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Developments in Cell Biology, Volume 1: Development and Differentiation in the Cellular Slime Moulds is a collection of papers from the proceedings of the International Workshop held at Porto Conte, Sardinia on April 12-16, 1977. This collection of papers deals with a single group of organisms, the cellular slime molds, particularly with Dictyostelium discoideum. Dictyostelium is dealt, firstly, according to cell differentiation and pattern formation common in this type of organism. These examples are further explored in the Dictyostelium discoideum slug, through the control of morphogenesis. Further research shows that two compounds, 3'5' cyclic AMP and NH3, can affect the course of morphogenesis in D. discoideum. Techniques for cell fusion and mutation induction in D. discoideum, especially as a result of DNA damage following radiation and chemicals, are analyzed. Other studies show that formation and maintenance of stable contacts between cells appear to be necessary for the normal cell cycle involved in the growth of D. discoideum. The changes in plasma membrane protein analyzed using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are examined. Results show that detection and quantitation of tubulin in Dictyostelium discoideum is important when studying the differentiation processes of a wide range of cellular activities. Because many D. discoideum mutants fail to reach proper development, the method for selecting the aggregation of defective mutants of D. discoideum is emphasized. This book is of interest to those whose work involves these organisms and to researchers, professors, and students whose disciplines are in Developmental Biology or Mycology.
