Under
favourable
conditions,
in
majority
of
them,
the
vegetative
cells
aggregate
at
a
number
of
points
in
the
inner
area
of
the
colony,
and
fruiting
bodies
then
differentiate
from
these
cellular
aggregates.
Each
fruit
body
is
made
up
of
slime
and
bacterial
cells;
when
mature,
it
acquires
a
definite
size,
form
and
colour.
As
the
fruiting
bodies
mature,
the
cells
within
them
become
converted
to
resting
cells,
known
as
myxospores
which
are
frequently
referred
to
as
cysts
or
microcysts.
Upon
subsequent
germination,
each
myxospore
gives
rise
to
a
vegetative
cell.
