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 ...

Natural strategies for ultraviolet resilience: lessons from slime moulds [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation exerts strong selective pressures on microbial life, yet many microorganisms display extraordinary resistance, revealing strategies that may be broadly useful for understanding survival under extreme stress.

Myxomycete diversity in the coastal desert of Peru with emphasis on the lomas formations

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2016
Results obtained from the first survey for myxomycetes in the hyperarid areas of Peru are reported. Sampling over three consecutive years was carried out at 96 localities between 0 and 1500 m elevation.

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.

Functional ecological role of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) in forest biodiversity and conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation
Forest ecosystems derive much of their stability from the efficiency of detrital pathways, yet the functional roles of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) in forest detrital food webs remain poorly synthesised and are rarely incorporated into forest management or

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).

Occurrence, distribution and diversity of myxomycetes (plasmodial slime moulds) along two transects in Mt. Arayat National Park, Pampanga, Philippines

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.
