Studies of four mating types of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium giganteum revealed that each strain secrets its own sexual hormone to which each of the other three strains responds by forming macrocysts. Based on the ability to secrete or respond to hormone, the four strains can be arranged in a mating-type hierarchy.
对细胞黏菌巨盘基网柄菌的四种交配型的研究表明,每个菌株都会分泌自身的性激素,其他三种菌株中的每一种都会对这种性激素做出反应,形成大囊胞。根据分泌或对激素做出反应的能力,这四种菌株可以按照交配型等级排列。
