Books
A number of books have been produced previously on Dictyostelium and its relatives. Some of these remain important sources of information on techniques and earlier work, and should be available in university libraries.
John Bonner has written a classic volume on Dictyostelium (1967), and this is an important source for early experiments and details that might get overlooked.
Kenneth Raper has also written well on Dictyostelium, and his 1984 book contains much material that is not covered elsewhere.
L. S. Olive has written a book on the mycetozoans, for those interested in the relatives of Dictyostelium, or at least in species with a similar life style.
William Loomis has been a longtime contributor and has written and edited several books that are listed below.
As a technical help, a Methods in Cell Biology book, edited by J. Spudich has much value. This provides recipes for media and detailed methods for growing and developing Dictyostelium.
An excellent book by D. Wessels and D. R. Soil describes microscopy and imaging methods for the study cell movement. Several chapters concern Dictyostelium.
The most recent book dedicated to Dictyostelium is the result of a meeting held in Sendai in Japan, and is an excellent source of recent reviews. It can be ordered through the Kyoto Dictyostelium Group Website, which is listed below. A relatively unknown monograph by Hagiwara deserves more attention.
