Mating types in cellular slime molds
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1973Abstract We have discovered mating types in three species of cellular slime mold. One of these species is Dictyostelium discoideum , hitherto the subject of extensive biochemical investigations, and now amenable to genetic studies.

The Aggregation of Slime Mold Amoebae [PDF]
, 1980 Two kinds of slime mold play central roles in this book. Later on we will meet the “true” slime mold (Myxomycetes), an acellular jelly remarkable for the regularity and synchrony of mitosis in its many nuclei. Topologically, the true slime mold is one single monstrous cell.

Behavior of cellular slime molds in the soil
Mycologia, 2005Cellular slime molds are soil organisms, yet since they were discovered in 1869 they have been studied on agar surfaces. Here the behavior of a number of species is examined and it is evident that they have different responses to directional light and they all thrive in the presence of soil.

Slimeware: Engineering Devices with Slime Mold
Artificial Life, 2013The plasmodium of the acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum is a gigantic single cell visible to the unaided eye. The cell shows a rich spectrum of behavioral patterns in response to environmental conditions. In a series of simple experiments we demonstrate how to make computing, sensing, and actuating devices from the slime mold.

Four Signals to Shape a Slime Mold
1993The Dictyostelium life cycle is a fascinating example of the generation of highly ordered patterns of cell movement and tissue specification by a population of initially identical cells. Notably its spiral waves of chemotactic movement and the regulative aspects of its differentiation patterns have attracted considerable attention.

Heterocytosis in Cellular Slime Molds
The American Naturalist, 1962By isolating single spores it was found that five of the strains of Acrasiales maintained in this laboratory were heterogeneous and consisted of more than one cell type. In addition to spores producing wild type fruiting bodies, variants were found which deviated from the wild type in either the morphology of their fruiting bodies, or the morphogenetic

Chemotaxis and Aggregation in Slime Molds
1973Two factors are of prime importance for cell aggregation in the slime molds: chemotaxis and adhesion. The latter is least understood. New light has been shed on chemotaxis by recent observations on attraction of myxamoebae of the cellular slime molds.
