1 Supporting Information Chen et al /pnas Fig. S1. Life cycle of the social amoeba D. discoideum. D. discoideum amoebae propagate vegetatively as a unicellular organism when food (naturally bacteria) is abundant. Upon starvation, social amoebae transition into multicellular development. During development, individual cells aggregate and differentiate, forming a multicellular slug that migrates and then forms a fruiting body in a highly coordinated process. The cartoons at the bottom half of the figure depict various stages during multicellular development: streaming, loose aggregate, tipped aggregate, slug, Mexican hat, and fruiting bodies. Chen et al. 1of1
