Aggregating cells of the cellular slime mold Fonticula alba form a volcano-shaped fruiting structure which at maturity bears its spores apically in a globose mucous mass. Numerous dictyosomes forming in the sorogenic cells are involved in the accumulation and deposition of stalk material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
