The effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids and growth temperature on the differentiation of the cellular slime mold Dicyostelium discoideum

Cells of Dictyostelium discoideum grown on media containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) exhibit impaired differentiation when placed on a solid surface in the absence of all nutrients. The temper-rature dependence studies on the rates of growth and differentiation were performed to test if t...
