"Freeze-Dried Specimens"

Cellular slime mold. Demonstrates amoeboid state, pseudoplasmodial state, and fruiting body, or sorocarp. Found in woodland soil in decomposing vegetation where bacteria are abundant. Incubation temperature 25°C. Plate cultures grown with Enterobacteria as food source; freeze-dried cultures include food source.

Characterized by an amoeboid stage (lacking cell walls) and a fungus-like reproductive structure.

Marine; Small Motile Cells with the Transverse Furrow Located Near the Apex.
