Analysis of Dictyostelium mucoroides Macrocysts by Using a Simple Breakage and Fractionation Procedure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described for the breakage and fractionation of Dictyostelium macrocysts. It involves vortexing with large glass beads to disrupt the macrocyst wall followed by differential low-speed centrifugation. It yields fractions containing purified wall material and intact endocytes. The endocytes can themselves be disrupted by using smaller glass beads.

The developmental capacity of various stages of a macrocyst-forming strain of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium mucoroides.
Vegetative cells of certain strains of Dictyostelium mucoroides form fruiting bodies on an agar surface and macrocysts when placed under saline. This study sought to determine whether the aggregation and pseudoplasmodial stages of fruiting body formation could be induced to form macrocysts when placed under saline. Likewise, different stages in macrocyst formation were put on an agar surface to...
متن کاملTwisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs.
Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g. Dictyostelium discoideum are characterised by stalk-less slug migration and only produce a stalk upon culmination. Experiments on D. discoideum and theoretical model ...
متن کاملPurification and Fractionation of Carbon Dots using pH-controlled Cloud Point Extraction Technique
In this work, we describe a simple, green and general procedure for the purification and fractionation of carbon dots (CDs). CDs coated with oxygen-containing functional groups were synthesized by thermal pyrolysis of citric acid. The product of the reaction was first Purified and then fractionated into two distinct kinds of CDs (f4 and f1) using pH-controlled cloud point extraction (CPE) techn...
متن کاملMating Types and Macrocyst Formation in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Strains of Dictyostelium discoideum were paired in various combinations. Certain pairings resulted in the production of macrocysts, which are thought to be the sexual stage in the cellular slime molds. One selfcompatible strain was found. Other strains produced macrocysts only when paired with an alternate mating type. Two strains were found to form macrycysts when paired with either mating typ...
متن کاملSuccessive asexual life cycles of starved amoebae in the cellular slime mould, Dictyostelium mucoroides var. stoloniferum.
Dense masses of spores of Dictyostelium mucoroides var. stoloniferum have the ability to germinate and aggregate rapidly in the absence of food. This is made possible by the presence of a dominant, self-produced spore germination activator. The germination-aggregation cycle can be repeated in as many as six successive generations. In each generation the spore size is reduced so that ultimately ...
