Mycology, 2011 The Philippines has a poorly documented microbial flora and this is particularly true for myxomycetes. Thus, the research project described herein was carried out to assess the occurrence, distribution and diversity of the communities of myxomycetes in Mt. Arayat National Park.

bioRxivAbstractLarger body size often enhances survival and reproduction. While most organisms grow to achieve larger sizes, some can rapidly increase size through fusion. Fusion decisions are influenced by genetic relatedness and environmental factors, balancing potential benefits and costs.

Behavioural changes in slime moulds over time. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023 Changes in behaviour over the lifetime of single-cell organisms have primarily been investigated in response to environmental stressors. However, growing evidence suggests that unicellular organisms undergo behavioural changes throughout their lifetime ...

Stress signalling in acellular slime moulds and its detection by conspecifics. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2020 Unicellular organisms live in unpredictable environments. Therefore, they need to continuously assess environmental conditions and respond appropriately to survive and thrive.

Sclerotization in Relation to Plasmodial Senescence in the Acellular Slime Mould Didymium iridis [PDF]
Microbiology, 1982 Summary: When subjected to dehydration, Didymium iridis plasmodia differentiate into sclerotia which can be maintained for long periods and exhibit no discernible O2 uptake. While actively growing plasmodia display the phenomenon of senescence, this ageing is delayed in sclerotia by the duration of the sclerotized state.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract The Cutosea represent a deep‐branching lineage within the phylum Amoebozoa that is still relatively poorly explored. Currently, there are four cutosean representatives known – the monotypic genera Armaparvus, Idionectes, Sapocribrum, and Squamamoeba – with marked genetic distances. Idionectes vortex is the deepest‐branching species and differs

Ribosomal RNA Genes in the Amoebal and Plasmodial Forms of the Slime Mould Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1975 1. The degree of homology between ribosomal RNA isolated from microplasmodia and amoebae of the slime mould Physarum polycephalum has been determined by competive hybridisation of the RNA from the two sources to homologous DNA in solution. The extent of competition was measured both by hybridisation to saturation and by following the kinetics of hybrid

The Effect of Nocodazole on Cell Cycle Events in the Plasmodial Slime Mould Physarum Polycephalum [PDF]
Microbiology, 1987 SUMMARY: The action of nocodazole on nuclear morphology, DNA replication and thymidine (TdR) kinase activity has been examined in growing and starving plasmodia of the CL strain of Physarum polycephalum. In the growing plasmodium, nocodazole treatment more than 2 h before mitosis began prevented both mitosis and DNA replication from occurring at the ...

Memory inception and preservation in slime moulds: the quest for a common mechanism. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2019 Learning and memory are indisputably key features of animal success. Using information about past experiences is critical for optimal decision-making in a fluctuating environment.

First records of Myxomycetes associated with members of the Cactaceae in Australia
Australian Journal of Botany, 2022 Context Cacti are endemic to North and South America, but numerous species have been spread all over the world after Europeans visited the Americas. Their global spread has impacted various aspects of terrestrial ecosystems, including the distributions ...
