(6.92 MB, MOV) A recording of the first 26 hours of D. discoideum growth on a glass substrate, shown in figure 1 of the main text. Note the dissociation of multinuclear cells or cell clusters in the first few hours, occurring at arbitrary times (e.g. at 1 s, 5 s, 7 s, 8 s, 9 s) indicating the lack of cell synchronization by simultaneous dissociation/cytokinesis. The time-lapse video was recorded by taking a photo every five minutes and the video playback is at seven frames per second (the full length being 26 hours).
