TL;DR
Growth of axenic cultures of Dictyostelium discoideum A3 was shown to be inhibited by 5-fluorouracil, 5- fluorodeoxyuridine and 5-bromodeoxyURidine.
Abstract
Growth of axenic cultures of Dictyostelium discoideum A3 was shown to be inhibited by 5-fluorouracil, 5-fluorodeoxyuridine and 5-bromodeoxyuridine. Drug-resistant mutants were isolated and described.

In stationary phase cells that had entered the developmental program leading to fruiting body construction, the rRNA turned over rapidly so that by the end of development at least 75% of the ribosomes fabricated during exponential growth had disappeared and had been replaced by new ones synthesized during the morphogenetic sequence.

Three classes of temperature-sensitive mutants of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum have been isolated and results indicate that severalTemperature-sensitive and morphological mutations are recessive and nonidentical.

A comparative study of morphogenetically deficient mutants has revealed that strains incapable of proceeding beyond a particular developmental stage are likewise incapable of applying those controls over transferase activity which the wild type exerts during the subsequent development.

The growth kinetics of Dictyostelium discoideum have been determined on complete and restricted media and the bearing of these results upon the mechanisms of cellular differentiation during slime mold development is discussed.
