Wild Dictyostelium discoideum social amoebae show plastic responses to the presence of nonrelatives during multicellular development

Abstract When multiple strains of microbes form social groups, such as the multicellular fruiting bodies of Dictyostelium discoideum, conflict can arise regarding cell fate. Both fixed and plastic differences among strains can contribute to cell fate, and plastic responses may be particularly import...
