Movie 1. Aspidocyte formation. Starving cells of strain HM1158 were induced to form aspidocytes in the standard conditions (see Methods of main paper) by 25 µM Cd2+ and 100 nM DIF-1, except that they were plated on coverslips in a chambered microscope slide. Filming started after 5 h of incubation and covers a period of 50 min (1 frame/30 s). [.mov file] (2800 kb)
Movie 2. Aspidocyte dissolution. Aspidocytes were induced from starving cells of strain HM1158 by 25 µM Cd2+ and 100 nM DIF-1 overnight in the standard conditions. They were then washed free of inducers and plated on a coverslip for filming, which started immediately. The film covers a period of 20 min (1 frame per 20 s). [.mov file] (3520 kb)
