Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]

, 1997
The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

An Improved Physarum polycephalum Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Shortest path is among classical problems of computer science. The problems are solved by hundreds of algorithms, silicon computing architectures and novel substrate, unconventional, computing devices. Acellular slime mould P.

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

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 ...

Approximating Mexican highways with slime mould

, 2010
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. During its foraging behavior the cell spans spatially distributed sources of nutrients with a protoplasmic network. Geometrical structure of the protoplasmic networks allows the

Transcriptomic changes arising during light-induced sporulation in Physarum polycephalum

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Physarum polycephalum is a free-living amoebozoan protist displaying a complex life cycle, including alternation between single- and multinucleate stages through sporulation, a simple form of cell differentiation.

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

Two Results on Slime Mold Computations

, 2017
We present two results on slime mold computations. In wet-lab experiments (Nature'00) by Nakagaki et al. the slime mold Physarum polycephalum demonstrated its ability to solve shortest path problems.

Logics for Physarum Chips

Studia Humana, 2016
The paper considers main features of two groups of logics for biological devices, called Physarum Chips, based on the plasmodium. Let us recall that the plasmodium is a single cell with many diploid nuclei.

Mycelial dynamics in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 691-713, January 2026.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), similar to other filamentous fungi, develop extensive hyphal networks collectively known as mycelia. AMF mycelia are complemented by a variety of specialized structures such as spores, vesicles, and auxiliary cells, which together form integrated and functionally diverse AMF networks.
