Quantitative comparison of plasmodial networks of different slime molds

open access: closedProceedings of the 9th EAI International Conference on Bio-inspired Information and Communications Technologies (formerly BIONETICS), 2016
We 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 slime molds and the evolution of microbial husbandry

open access: closedTheory in Biosciences, 2019
Detailed analyses into the life cycle of the soil-dwelling microbe Dictyostelium discoideum led to the conclusion that this "social amoeba" practices some form of "non-monoculture farming" via the transfer of bacteria to novel environments. Herein, we show that in myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds or myxogastrids) a similar "farming symbiosis" has ...

In the shadow of Darwin: Anton de Bary’s origin of myxomycetology and a molecular phylogeny of the plasmodial slime molds

open access: closedTheory in Biosciences, 2009
In his Origin of Species (John Murray, London, 1859), Charles Darwin described the theory of descent with modification by means of natural selection and postulated that all life may have evolved from one or a few simple kinds of organisms. However, Darwin's concept of evolutionary change is entirely based on observations of populations of animals and ...

Plasmodial senescence in the acellular slime mold Didymium iridis

open access: closedExperimental Cell Research, 1980
Abstract The vegetative diploid plasmodium of the acellular slime mold Didymium iridis undergoes senescence when maintained by routine transfer to fresh medium. A number of isogenic plasmodia will have an average lifespan that is genome specific, yet expressed within the population in a stochastic manner.

Plasmodial Incompatibility Reactions in the True Slime MoldPhysarum Cinereum

open access: closedMycologia, 1977
Plasmodial (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 ...
