Network Coarsening Dynamics in a Plasmodial Slime Mould: Modelling and Experiments [PDF]
Acta Physica Polonica B, 2015 The giant unicellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum forms an extended network of stands (veins) that provide for an effective intracellular transportation system, which coarsens in time. The network coarsening was investigated numerically using an agent-based model and the results were compared to experimental observations.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6924-6939, November 2021., 2021 Summary Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. NO levels transiently boost upon induction of conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans. Only one pathway for NO synthesis involving nitrate reductase has been reported in filamentous fungi so far, but this does not satisfy all the NO produced in fungal cells. Here we

Two-gene phylogeny of bright-spored Myxomycetes (slime moulds, superorder Lucisporidia). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Myxomycetes, or plasmodial slime-moulds, are one of the largest groups in phylum Amoebozoa. Nonetheless, only ∼10% are in the database for the small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA gene, the most widely used gene for phylogenetics and barcoding.

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

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

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.

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 ...

A Comparison of the Proteins of the Amoebal and Plasanodial Phases of the Slime Mould, Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 2005 1. The proteins of amoebae and plasmodia of strain CL of Physarum polycephalum have been compared by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Both forms of the organism were labelled by growth on formalin-killed bacteria labelled with [35S]sulphate, [3H]lysine or [14C]lysine. Plasmodia were also labelled from radioactive lysine in the medium. 2.

Diversity of Myxomycetes in arid zones of Peru part II: the cactus belt and transition zones
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2019 The results obtained from a second survey for Myxomycetes in the arid areas of Peru are reported. A total of 37 localities from the cactus belt (‘cardonal’), between 1500 and 3000 m a.s.l., were sampled over six years.

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.
