Development of the capillitium inPerichaena vermicularis A plasmodial slime mold
Protoplasma, 1974Development of the capillitium ofPerichaena vermicularis has been examined using light and electron microscopy. Two mechanisms are involved in the production of the thread-like structures. Initiation of capillitial development begins with the formation of long rows of vacuoles throughout the previous undifferentiated protoplasm of young plasmodiocarp ...

Quantitative comparison of plasmodial networks of different slime molds
Proceedings of the 9th EAI International Conference on Bio-inspired Information and Communications Technologies (formerly BIONETICS), 2016We have compared Physarum polycephalum to other plasmodial slime molds, based on several properties of their respective phaneroplasmodia, as well as their chemotactic responses. This work was presented at PhysNet 2015.

Plasmodial vein networks of the slime moldPhysarum polycephalumform regular graphs
Physical Review E, 2010The morphology of a typical developing biological transportation network, the vein network of the plasmodium of the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum is analyzed during its free extension. The network forms a classical, regular graph, and has exclusively nodes of degree 3.

The clade of Myxogastria, commonly described as true or plasmodial slime molds, contains more than 1000 species. During their life cycle many of these slime molds develop extended networks of connected veins, known as unicellular (phanero)plasmodia. Among those, Physarum polycephalum gathered by far the most attention of biologists and physicists.

Spatiotemporal Symmetry in Rings of Coupled Biological Oscillators ofPhysarumPlasmodial Slime Mold
Physical Review Letters, 2001Spatiotemporal patterns in rings of coupled biological oscillators of the plasmodial slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, were investigated by comparing with results analyzed by the symmetric Hopf bifurcation theory based on group theory. In three-, four-, and five-oscillator systems, all types of oscillation modes predicted by the theory were observed ...

Plasmodial Slime Molds of a Tropical Karst Forest, Quezon National Park, the Philippines
Pacific Science, 2015Karst forest represents a distinct landscape with highly alkaline soil and limestone rocks. This specialized topography supports many unique species of plants and animals. Thus, documenting species in this area is important for any biodiversity research.

Plasmodial Incompatibility Reactions in the True Slime MoldPhysarum Cinereum
Mycologia, 1977Plasmodial (somatic) incompatibility reactions in the Ven 1 isolate of ;the myxomycete Physarum cinereum are controlled by two unlinked loci displaying simple dominance. Phenotypically dissimilar plasmodia undergo temporary fusions which are quickly terminated by a cytotoxic reaction, whereas phenotypically similar ones undergo fusions which are not ...

Characterization of Adaptation by Morphology in a Planar Biological Network of Plasmodial Slime Mold
Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2011Growth processes of a planar biological network of plasmodium of a true slime mold, Physarum polycephalum , were analyzed quantitatively. The plasmodium forms a transportation network through which protoplasm conveys nutrients, oxygen, and cellular organelles similarly to blood in a mammalian vascular network. To analyze the network structure, vertices

AbstractChanges in the level of antioxidant defenses and the concentration of free radical by‐products were examined in differentiating (M3cVII and LU897 × LU863), non‐differentiating (LU887 × LU897), and heterokaryon microplasmodia of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum during spherulation in salts‐only medium.

Myosin switching during amoebo-plasmodial differentiation of slime mold, Physarum polycephalum.
Experimental cell research, 1987We reported previously that myosins from amoebal and plasmodial stages in the life cycle of Physarum polycephalum differ in the primary structure of heavy chains and phosphorylatable 18,000 Mr light chains, while Ca-binding 14,000 Mr light chains are common to both myosins (Kohama & Takano-Ohmuro, Proc Jpn acad 60B (1984) 431; Kohama et al., J biol ...
