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.

Emission and Biosynthesis of Volatile Terpenoids From the Plasmodial Slime Mold Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019 Terpene synthases (TPSs) are pivotal enzymes for the production of diverse terpenes, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and diterpenes. In our recent studies, dictyostelid social amoebae, also known as cellular slime molds, were found to contain TPS

Species-Specific Cell Mobility of Bacteria-Feeding Myxamoebae in Plasmodial Slime Molds [PDF]
Plant Signaling and Behavior, 2015 On decaying wood or litter in forests, plasmodial slime molds (myxomycetes) represent a large fraction of eukaryotic protists that feed on bacteria. In his seminal book Experimental Physiology of Plants (1865), Julius Sachs referred to the multinucleate plasmodium of myxomycetes, which were considered at that time as primitive plants (or fungi).

Distribution and diversity of myxomycetes in Tiantangzhai National Forest Park, China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Although myxomycetes are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems, studies on their distribution and diversity in subtropical humid forests are still lacking.

Past and Ongoing Field-Based Studies of Myxomycetes
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

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2023 Myxomycetes, commonly called plasmodial slime molds, are eukaryotic organisms usually thriving on terrestrial ecosystems, manifesting attributes of fungi and protists.

Speciation in progress? A phylogeographic study among populations of Hemitrichia serpula (Myxomycetes). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds, Amoebozoa) are often perceived as widely distributed, confounding to the "everything is everywhere" hypothesis. To test if gene flow within these spore-dispersed protists is restricted by geographical barriers, we ...

Development of a Myxomycete Photoguide as a Teaching Tool for Microbial Taxonomy
Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2012 Recently, web-based identification guides have been developed to aid modern taxonomists in identifying organisms. Unfortunately, these guides can only be used wherever Internet access is available.
