Biodiversity of plasmodial slime moulds (Myxogastria): measurement and interpretation

open access: yesProtistology, 2000
For myxomycetes the understanding of their diversity and of their ecological function remains underdeveloped. Various problems in recording myxomycetes and analysis of their diversity are discussed by the examples taken from tundra, boreal, and arid areas of Russia and Kazakhstan.

Emission and biosynthesis of volatile terpenoids from the plasmodial slime mold Physarum polycephalum

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019
Terpene synthases (TPSs) are pivotal enzymes for the production of diverse terpenes, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and diterpenes. In our recent studies, dictyostelid social amoebae, also known as cellular slime molds, were found to contain TPS
