Spore coat is altered in modB glycosylation mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum.

The modB mutation eliminates specific carbohydrate epitopes from glycoproteins which are expressed primarily in prespore and spore cells of differentiating Dictyostelium discoideum. Spores formed by the mutant show several phenotypes. Whereas mutant spores germinate efficiently after heat activation, they germinate poorly after urea activation. Following germination, at least one glycosylation-defective glycoprotein is cleaved, and the larger fragment is released in soluble form from the spore coat. However, an earlier difference in the spore coat can be traced back to the nongerminated spore coat, as detected by the elutability of protein from intact spores by chemical extraction. An altered character of the pregermination spore coat is also suggested by increased labeling by a fluorescent lectin which binds to its interior. The findings are consistent with a change in the character of certain molecular contacts leading to altered characteristics of the mutant spore coat, which are specific because they are distinctive from changes observed in another glycosylation mutant which affects a different epitope.

Macrocyst formation in three dictyostelid species,Dictyostelium monochasioides, Polysphondylium candidum, andP. pseudo-candidum

Macrocyst formation in the sexual cycle was found in three dictyostelid species:Dictyostelium monochasioides, Polysphondylium candidum, andP. pseudo-candidum. Mating tests suggested thatD. monochasioides andP. pseudocandidum were heterothallic andP. candidum was homothallic. The primary walls of macrocysts had partially or fully degenerated, while the inner walls, believed to be tertiary walls, showed an undulate structure.

Revision of the Genus Protostelium (Eumycetozoa) I: The Protostelium mycophaga Group and the P. irregularis Group

ABSTRACT The most commonly encountered protostelids are nominal members of the genus Protostelium Olive & Stoianovitch. These are Protostelium mycophaga Olive & Stoianovitch and P. irregularis Olive & Stoianovitch. Both species share the common features of long-stalked fruiting bodies with single, uninucleate, deciduous spores and trophic states that consist solely of uninucleate amoebae, but they are quite different with respect to their detailed structure at both the light and electron microscopic levels. Based on this evidence, it seems unlikely that the species are congeneric, and it is proposed that P. irregularis be assigned to Soliformovum n. g. Examination of other species of Protostelium indicates that P. nocturnum Spiegel should be retained in the genus and that P. expulsum Olive & Stoianovitch should be reassigned to Soliformovum. The group most closely related to Protostelium, under this new concept, is the genus Planoprotostelium Olive & Stoianovitch, while Soliformovum is best treated as a genus of Eumycetozoa incertae sedis, though it does share some similarities with the group that includes the genera Ceratiomyxella Olive & Stoianovitch, Nematostelium Olive & Stoianovitch, and Schizoplasmodium Olive & Stoianovitch.
