negatively regulates aggregation involved in sorocarp development negative regulation of response to nutrient levels negative regulation of cellular process negative regulation of developmental process regulation of aggregation involved in sorocarp development biological regulation negative regulation of aggregation involved in sorocarp development Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of aggregation involved in sorocarp development. Aggregation involved in sorocarp development is the process whose specific outcome is the progression of the aggregate over time, from its formation to the point when a slug is formed. Aggregate development begins in response to starvation and continues by the chemoattractant-mediated movement of cells toward each other. The aggregate is a multicellular structure that gives rise to the slug. GO:0110014 2017-05-10T12:53:12Z biological_process kmv
