Prestalk cells in slugs
 |
Movement of individual prestalk A (ecmA promoter tagged to wild
type GFP) and prestalk O (ecmO promoter tagged to redshifted GFP) cells in a D. discoideum
slug. Images were captured every 20 seconds. From D. Dormann, T. Abe, J.
Williams, and C. Weijer, University of Dundee. |
Prestalk cells during culmination
 |
Movement of individual prestalk A (ecmA promoter tagged to wild type GFP) and
prestalk O (ecmO promoter tagged to redshifted GFP) cells during culmination.
Images were captured every 20 seconds. From D. Dormann, T. Abe, J. Williams, and
C. Weijer, University of
Dundee.

Prestalk cells upon slug dissociation
 |
Movement of individual prestalk A (ecmA promoter tagged to wild type GFP) and
prestalk O (ecmO promoter tagged to redshifted GFP) cells upon dissociation from
the slug. Images were captured every 20 seconds. From D. Dormann, T. Abe, J.
Williams, and C. Weijer, University of Dundee.

Spiral waves in aggregation
 |
Core of a spiral wave in aggregating D. discoideum cells. Time between
images is 10 seconds. From F. Siegert and C. J. Weijer, J. Cell Sci. 93,
325-335 (1989).

Pacemaker centers in mounds
 |
Multiple pacemaker centers within a single D. discoideum mound. Time
between successive images is 30 seconds. From F. Siegert and C. J. Weijer,
Current Biology 5, 937-943 (1995). |
Dark field waves in early aggregation
 |
Dark field waves of D. discoideum cells on caffeine agar. Time between
images is 36 seconds. From F. Siegert and C. J. Weijer, J. Cell Sci. 93,
325-335 (1989).
