Phylogeny of Physarida (Amoebozoa, Myxogastria) Based on the Small‐Subunit Ribosomal RNA Gene, Redefinition of Physarum pusillum s. str. and Reinstatement of P. gravidum Morgan

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 327-336, May/June 2020., 2020
Abstract Myxomycetes (also called Myxogastria or colloquially, slime molds) are worldwide occurring soil amoeboflagellates. Among Amoebozoa, they have the notable characteristic to form, during their life cycle, macroscopic fruiting bodies, that will ultimately release spores.

On attraction of slime mould Physarum polycephalum to plants with sedative properties [PDF]

, 2011
A plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell with many nuclei. Presented to a configuration of attracting and repelling stimuli a plasmodium optimizes its growth pattern and spans the attractants, while avoiding ...

Life Cycles of Myxogastria Stemonitopsis typhina and Stemonitis fusca on Agar Culture

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 66-75, January/February 2020., 2020
Abstract Myxogastria is a group of protozoa characterized by cellular uninucleate amoeboflagellates (myxamoebae and flagellated swarm cell), acellular multinucleate plasmodia, and stationary spore‐bearing sporocarps. The Stemonitales is a large order in the Myxogastria and contains approximately 230 species, but only 13 species have their completed ...

Dictyostelids from a Tropical Forest in Cuba

, 2023
<p>Six species of dictyostelid cellular slime molds are reported from ten samples of ground soil and ten samples of aerial "canopy soil" collected in November 2002 from a montane tropical forest in the Guamuahaya Mountains of central Cuba.

Polyphyletic origin of the genus Physarum (Physarales, Myxomycetes) revealed by nuclear rDNA mini-chromosome analysis and group I intron synapomorphy

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Physarales represents the largest taxonomic order among the plasmodial slime molds (myxomycetes). Physarales is of particular interest since the two best-studied myxomycete species, Physarum polycephalum and Didymium iridis, belong to this ...

Genetic structure of two protist species (Myxogastria, Amoebozoa) suggests asexual reproduction in sexual Amoebae.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Plasmodial slime molds (Myxogastria or Myxomycetes) are common and widespread unicellular organisms that are commonly assumed to have a sexual life cycle culminating with the formation of often macroscopic fruiting bodies that efficiently disseminate ...

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 4-119, January/February 2019., 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

A Bio‐Inspired Method for the Constrained Shortest Path Problem

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The constrained shortest path (CSP) problem has been widely used in transportation optimization, crew scheduling, network routing and so on. It is an open issue since it is a NP‐hard problem. In this paper, we propose an innovative method which is based on the internal mechanism of the adaptive amoeba algorithm.

An Improved Physarum polycephalum Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Shortest path is among classical problems of computer science. The problems are solved by hundreds of algorithms, silicon computing architectures and novel substrate, unconventional, computing devices. Acellular slime mould P. polycephalum is originally famous as a computing biological substrate due to its alleged ability to approximate shortest path ...

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

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 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).
