The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is an interesting microbe that has used as a powerful model organism for biomedical and pharmacological studies. This eukaryote model‚ which has been used to study basic cell function and multicellular development‚ undergoes a 24-h asexual life cycle comprised of both single-cell and multicellular phases. As a result‚ it is an excellent system for studying a variety of cellular and developmental processes such as‚ chemotaxsis‚ lysosome function and signaling
