The dictyostelids are a group of cellular slime molds, or social amoebae. When food, normally bacteria, is readily available they are individual amoebae, which feed and divide normally. However when...

A second group, the cellular slime molds, spend most of their lives as separate single-celled amoeboid protists, but upon the release of a chemical signal, the individual cells aggregate into a great swarm. ... Cellular slime molds are thus of great interest to cell and developmental biologists, because they provide...

The second group of slime molds are the cellular slime molds of the phylum Acrasiomycota. About 65 species are known. These spend most of their lives as separate amoeboid cells; however, upon the release of a chemical signal, the individual cells aggregate into a great swarm.

Cellular slime molds, the second major group of slime molds, exist as minute "slugs" during their growth phase. Each slug contains a single nucleus. The slugs crawl through dung, soil, rotting mushrooms, decaying leaves and other organic material at an average speed of 1 mm per hour.

Cellular 'Slime Molds:' Dictyostelium and relatives ... The cellular slime molds were formerly considered to be 'lower fungi.' Although they superficially resemble fungi in some respects, they are included in the Kingdom Protista.

The cellular slime molds are a very peculiar class of creatures, neither animal nor plant, which spend most of their life as separate cells, roaming through the soils and leaf-litter of forests.

During development, C. elegans feeds on amoebae until they aggregate and synthesize an extracellular matrix called the slime sheath. After the sheath forms, the aggregate and slug are protected. Adult nematodes ingest Dictyostelium spores, which pass through the gut of the worm without loss of structure and remain viable.
