From: In the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, density, not farming status, determines predatory success on unpalatable Escherichia coli

Figure 3

D. discoideum growth is inhibited on dense lawns of some E. coli strains, achieved by growth on SM medium as compared to SM/5, which has a fifth of some core nutrients (see Methods ). Representative images of spores from D. discoideum clone QS9 plated with the indicated bacterial strains on (a) SM and (b) SM/5, 4 and 7 days post plating. The E. coli strains imaged represent a subset of amoeba growth compatible or growth incompatible strains from our collection.
