AB  - Dictyostelium discoideum are single cellular amoeba that are bacterivores, however, when starved, they undergo a developmental process and form a multicellular fruiting body. The fruiting body is composed of stalk cells that form a rigid platform to elevate a spore-filled sorus. This allows for the spores to be distributed to a new environment where they can germinate in search of a bacterial food source. This developmental cycle makes Dictyostelium discoideum a powerful model organism for investigating several cellular pathways including cell fate and tissue development.
