Biochemical and cytological heterogeneity of the differentiating cells of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum.


ABSTRACT: 1. The slug stage of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum has been shown to contain two types of cell, which differ in buoyant density. 2. These two cell types also differ in cytological appearance and histochemical behaviour and have very different enzymic activities. 3. Evidence is presented suggesting that the lighter of these two cell types corresponds to cells from the posterior region of the slug (pre-spore cells) and the heavier of the two to cells from the anterior region of the slug (pre-stalk cells).
