Polyphyletic origin of the genus Physarum (Physarales, Myxomycetes) revealed by nuclear rDNA mini-chromosome analysis and group I intron synapomorphy [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Physarales represents the largest taxonomic order among the plasmodial slime molds (myxomycetes). Physarales is of particular interest since the two best-studied myxomycete species, Physarum polycephalum and Didymium iridis, belong to this ...

Life Cycles of Myxogastria Stemonitopsis typhina and Stemonitis fusca on Agar Culture. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol, 2020
Abstract Myxogastria is a group of protozoa characterized by cellular uninucleate amoeboflagellates (myxamoebae and flagellated swarm cell), acellular multinucleate plasmodia, and stationary spore‐bearing sporocarps. The Stemonitales is a large order in the Myxogastria and contains approximately 230 species, but only 13 species have their completed ...

18S rDNA phylogeny of lamproderma and allied genera (Stemonitales, Myxomycetes, Amoebozoa). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The phylogenetic position of the slime-mould genus Lamproderma (Myxomycetes, Amoebozoa) challenges traditional taxonomy: although it displays the typical characters of the order Stemonitales, it appears to be sister to Physarales.

An inexpensive moist chamber culture technique for finding microbiota on live tree bark. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Traditional moist chamber cultures (MCs) prepared in aseptic laboratory environments using sterile Petri dishes are commonly used to quantify the microbiota of rough‐bark tree species and woody vines. MCs are typically expensive and may be difficult to make, so a less expensive option made from easily available supplies was developed ...

Two new species and three new records of Diachea (Physarales) from China based on morphological and molecular evidence [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Diachea is an important genus of myxomycetes, recognized for its ecological role and wide distribution. This study aimed to expand knowledge of species diversity within this genus in China. We collected Diachea specimens from various locations in Shaanxi

Two New Species of the Genus Diderma (Physarales, Didymiaceae) in China with an Addition to the Distribution [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Myxomycetes are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems, and in order to understand their diversity and phylogenetic relationships, taxonomic issues need to be addressed.

Genetic structure of the protist Physarum albescens (Amoebozoa) revealed by multiple markers and genotyping by sequencing

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 372-390, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Myxomycetes are terrestrial protists with many presumably cosmopolitan species dispersing via airborne spores. A truly cosmopolitan species would suffer from outbreeding depression hampering local adaptation, while locally adapted species with limited distribution would be at a higher risk of extinction in changing environments.

Ecological assemblages of corticulous myxomycetes in forest communities of the North-East Ukraine

Biosystems Diversity, 2021
Corticulous myxomycetes remain one of the least surveyed ecological groups of terrestrial protists. These organisms develop on the bark of trees, mostly feeding on bacteria and microalgae.

Myxomycetes associated with pipevine, a temperate liana [PDF]

Mycosphere, 2012
Pinevine (Aristolochia macrophylla Lam.), a climbing woody vine native to temperate forests of eastern North America, is morphologically similar to many of the lianas characteristic of moist tropical forests.
