Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2005 Abstract. The Myxogastria are common soil microorganisms with a life cycle comprised of a plasmodial trophic stage and large fruiting bodies generally visible with the unaided eye. Until now, their classification has been based exclusively on a combination of morphological, ultrastructural, and developmental characters.

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997 The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2010 Myxomycetes are ubiquitous in terrestrial forest ecosystems. Thus, this research study looks at the taxonomic diversity and distribution of plasmodial myxomycetes in La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City, Philippines. A total of 240 moist chambers were prepared

The American Biology Teacher, 2014 In order to challenge our undergraduate students’ enduring misconception that plants, animals, and fungi must be “advanced” and that other eukaryotes traditionally called protists must be “primitive,” we have developed a 24-hour take-home guided inquiry and investigation of live Physarum cultures. The experiment replicates recent peer-reviewed research

The American Biology Teacher, 1998 An important objective of laboratory instruction, particularly at the introductory level, is to provide students with opportunities to ask testable questions, design experiments to address these questions, implement their experimental designs, and analyze and present the results of their work.

Applicability of Redirecting Artemisinins for New Targets
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Repurposing of drugs has great practical appeal. However, a systematic approach is essential. Here, artemisinins (ARTS) are used to illustrate some considerations that are critical in this process. Several mechanisms of action are suggested for ARTS, among which only a few are successfully examined in vivo, mainly the induction of oxidant stress and ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

On the evolution of epigenetics via exaptation: A developmental systems perspective
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1529, Issue 1, Page 21-32, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolution and development are interrelated processes influenced by genomic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Epigenetic processes serve critical roles in development and operate as intermediaries that connect the genome to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is of interest to consider the evolution of epigenetic processes.
