Scanning Electron Microscopy of Spore Germination in Dictyostelium discoideum

Year: 1972

Type: article

Abstract: The ellipsoidal dormant spores of Dictyostelium dicoideum prepared by freeze-drying had a uniform, compact appearance with fine wrinkles or ridges on the surface. Swollen spores were uneven in appearance, without fine wrinkles but with a seemingly expanded surface covering. The surfaces of the postgermination spore husks appeared unaltered except for a single straight exit slit along the longitudinal plane.
