【 摘 要 】

Amoebae of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum were harvested during exponential, axenic growth and were partitioned in a dextran-poly(ethylene glycol) two-phase system in a countercurrent distribution apparatus. Amoebae in G1-, S- and G2-phases of the cell cycle were located in different parts of the countercurrent distribution. Since partitioning separates cells with different surface properties, it is concluded that there are cell cycle-related changes in the surface properties, and thus plasma membrane structure, of the amoebae.
