  • Title: Isolation of strains of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum capable of growing after a single passage in axenic medium.
    Author: Williams KL.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1976 Oct; 32(4):635-7. PubMed ID: 988786.
    Abstract:
    Wild-type strains of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum grow on bacteria. Axenic strains of D. discoideum capable of growing in a simple salts-yeast extract-proteose peptone-glucose medium have been isolated from wild-type strains fo both mating types after a single passage in this medium. This result is consistent with the theory that the axenic phenotype has a simple genetic basis.
