Expression pattern of theP. pallidum dgcA gene. (A) Fruiting body morphogenesis in D. discoideum and the Polysphondylia. Pst: prestalk cells; psp: prespore cells; sp: spores; st:stalk; d: basal disc; c: upper and lower cup; P; primary sorogen; S: secondary sorogen. (B) DgcA expression in P. pallidum. A gene fusion of lacZ and 2.5 kb of the Ppal dgcA intergenic region was transformed into Ppal cells and plated for development. Structures that had formed at the indicated time points were fixed and stained with X-gal. Bar: 100 μm. Representative images from at least three individual experiments
