Dictyostelium discoideum is a specialized amoebozoan protist that can feed on, carry and disperse bacteria. However, the symbiont bacterial diversity in other species of dictyostelids and the diversity associated with essential life cycle stages are still unknown until now. Here, another species of dictyostelids, Heterostelium colligatum, a new record for tropical China, was isolated from the soil collected in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Yunnan Province, China. We describe the complete life cycle of this species and illustrate details of spore-to-spore development. The symbiont bacterial diversity and relative abundance associated with life cycle stages of H. colligatum, including the aggregation, pseudoplasmodium, and sorocarp stages, were investigated by high throughput metagenomic techniques. H. colligatum appears to be capable of carrying different types of bacteria during its life history in addition to those used as a food resource. The dominant groups of those three stages in its life cycle were the Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes. The relative abundance of the dominant phyla and shared OTUs were different for the aggregation, pseudoplasmodium, and sorocarp stages. A comparison of the symbiont bacterial assemblages associated with D. discoideum and H. colligatum indicated that different dictyostelid species carried different species of symbiont associated bacteria.
