Slime molds are unusual eukaryotes. They spend most of their life cycle as single-celled organisms and yet, under certain conditions, they form a slug-like multicellular stage and then a fruiting body composed of both somatic cells and reproductive spores. The best known species of slime mold is a soil dweller, Dictyostelium discoideum. Why is it important to study this and related species of slime molds?
