Advancements in the taxonomic study of myxomycetes (Myxogastrea) in China [PDF]
Mycology, 2023 Species in the class Myxomycetes (or Myxogastrea) are essential components of biodiversity and play important ecological roles in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in forests.

Metagenomic Insight into the Associated Microbiome in Plasmodia of Myxomycetes [PDF]
MicroorganismsDuring the trophic period of myxomycetes, the plasmodia of myxomycetes can perform crawling feeding and phagocytosis of bacteria, fungi, and organic matter. Culture-based studies have suggested that plasmodia are associated with one or several species of

Past and Ongoing Field-Based Studies of Myxomycetes [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Evidence from molecular studies indicates that myxomycetes (also called myxogastrids or plasmodial slime molds) have a long evolutionary history, and the oldest known fossil is from the mid-Cretaceous. However, they were not “discovered” until 1654, when

Slime molds (Myxomycetes) causing a “disease” in crop plants and cultivated mushrooms [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceMyxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds) are eukaryotic protist predators that are associated with wood, leaf litter, and soil in forests, where they feed on bacteria, protozoans, and (to a more limited extent) fungi.

Diversity of bacterial communities in the plasmodia of myxomycetes [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2022 Background Myxomycetes are a group of eukaryotes belonging to Amoebozoa, which are characterized by a distinctive life cycle, including the plasmodium stage and fruit body stage. Plasmodia are all found to be associated with bacteria.

Spatiotemporal patterns of soil myxomycetes in subtropical managed forests and their potential interactions with bacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologySoil myxomycetes are crucial soil protists with important ecological functions. Yet, our understanding of their diversity patterns in managed forests and the interactions with their food is far behind other taxa.

Diversity of plasmodial slime molds (myxomycetes) in coastal, mountain, and community forests of Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines [PDF]
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015 No profiling of diversity of myxomycetes has ever been conducted in one of the biodiversity hotspot areas in the Philippine archipelago, and this necessitates a swift survey of myxomycetes in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. An assessment of diversity of
