Isolation of Nuclei from Physarum flavicomum: Demonstration of Nuclear Cyclic Acid AMP Phosphodiesterase [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in the nucleus of the myxomycete Physarum flavicomum was demonstrated by cytochemical staining utilizing electron microscopy and by enzymatic assays with tritiated cyclic AMP as the substrate.

Effective mixing due to oscillatory laminar flow in tubular networks of plasmodial slime moulds

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2020
The plasmodium of the unicellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum forms an extended vascular network in which protoplasm is transported through the giant cell due to peristaltic pumping. The flow in the veins is always parabolic and it performs shuttle

An Improved Slime Mold Algorithm and its Application for Optimal Operation of Cascade Hydropower Stations

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
A recently modern stochastic optimization algorithm has been developed by observing the life of slime mold physarum polycephalum in nature. The algorithm is called the slime mold algorithm (SMA) with an excellent exploratory capacity and exploitation ...

When the path is never shortest: a reality check on shortest path biocomputation

open access: yes, 2017
Shortest path problems are a touchstone for evaluating the computing performance and functional range of novel computing substrates. Much has been published in recent years regarding the use of biocomputers to solve minimal path problems such as route ...

A minimum principle in mRNA editing ?

open access: yes, 2001
mRNA editing of sequences of many species is analyzed. The nature of the inserted nucleotides and the position of the insertion sites, once fixed the edited peptide chain, are explained by introducing a minimum principle in the framework of the crystal ...

How to Observe the Inner Space of a Complex Biological System through Speculative Simulation

open access: yesJournal of Science and Technology of the Arts, 2020
We present an approach for composition and performance with speculative complex biological systems. This iterative approach engages with both the content and the context of science through generative visual and sound art. We offer a conceptual framing as

Optimal multi-objective discrete decision making using a multidirectional modified Physarum solver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper will address a bio-inspired algorithm able to incrementally grow decision graphs in multiple directions for discrete multi-objective optimization. The algorithm takes inspiration from the slime mould Physarum Polycephalum, an amoeboid organism
