Plant hairy root cultures as plasmodium modulators of the slime mold emergent computing substrate Physarum polycephalum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Roots of the medicinal plant Valeriana officinalis are well studied for their various biological activities. We applied genetically transformed V. officinalis root cultures to exert control of Physarum polycephalum, an amoeba-based emergent computing ...

Hybrid Swarming Algorithm With Van Der Waals Force

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
This paper proposes a hybrid swarming algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization and Physarum Polycephalum Algorithm. And the Van Der Waals force is first applied to the pheromone update mechanism of the hybrid algorithm.

P-bRS: A Physarum-Based Routing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of WSNs. Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum, we establish a novel selecting next hop model (SNH ...

Information Transfer During Food Choice in the Slime Mold Physarum polycephalum

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Throughout evolution, living systems have developed mechanisms to make adaptive decisions in the face of complex and changing environmental conditions. Most organisms make such decisions despite lacking a neural architecture.

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Sterol content of the Myxomycetes Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1976
The sterol content of two Myxomycetes, Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum has been examined. The sterols of the two species are apparently identical, the two major sterols in each being poriferasterol and 22-dihydroporiferasterol.

A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Intelligent Behavior in Fungal Mycelia

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fungi exhibit remarkably complex behavior through their mycelial networks, which consist of thread‐like structures known as hyphae. Recent research on saprotrophic fungi has demonstrated that their mycelium behaves in ways that indicate memory, learning, decision‐making, and problem‐solving based on spatial pattern recognition—all of which are
