A novel mode of cytokinesis without cell-substratum adhesion

Abstract Cytokinesis is a final step in cell division.Dictyostelium cells, a model organism for the study of cytokinesis, have multiple modes, denoted cytokinesis A, B, C, and D.All these modes have been mainly investigated using cells adhering to the substratum although they can grow in shaking suspension culture.Here, we observed how cells divide
