Most strains were chosen simply because stocks are held in this laboratory, having been previously sent for other purposes; others were obtained from the Dictyostelium Stock Centre [35]. Stock Centre strain IDs are given only where this is the exact strain tested - it was either deposited by us in the Stock Centre or received from it - but not otherwise.
