The food seeking behavior of slime mold: a macroscopic approach
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2020 Starting from a particle model we derive a macroscopic aggregation-diffusion equation for the evolution of slime mold under the assumption of propagation of chaos in the large particle limit.

Control of Oscillation Patterns in a Symmetric Coupled Biological Oscillator System [PDF]
, 2003 A chain of three-oscillator system was constructed with living biological oscillators of phasmodial slime mold, Physarum polycehalum and the oscillation patterns were analyzed by the symmetric Hopf bifurcation theory using group theory.

Selective advantage for multicellular replicative strategies: A two-cell example [PDF]
, 2005 This paper develops a quasispecies model where cells can adopt a two-cell survival strategy. Within this strategy, pairs of cells join together, at which point one of the cells sacrifices its own replicative ability for the sake of the other cell.

Identification and purification of an endogenous receptor for the lectin pallidin from Polysphondylium pallidum. [PDF]
, 1982 We report the identification and purification of an endogenous carbohydrate-containing receptor of pallidin, the cell surface lectin implicated in mediating cell-cell adhesion in the cellular slime mold Polysphondylium pallidum.

Cell Sorting daring Pattern Formation in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1981 Formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyostelium was investigated in slugs and submerged clumps of cells. Prestalk and prespore cells were identified by staining with vital dyes, which are shown to be stable cell markers.

Complex & Intelligent Systems, 2022 The ant colony optimization (ACO) is one efficient approach for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP). Here, we propose a hybrid algorithm based on state-adaptive slime mold model and fractional-order ant system (SSMFAS) to address the TSP.

eLife, 2022 In multicellular organisms, the specification, coordination, and compartmentalization of cell types enable the formation of complex body plans. However, some eukaryotic protists such as slime molds generate diverse and complex structures while remaining ...

Slime mould flora of the Ślęża massif
Acta Mycologica, 2014 In four succeding years 1971-1974 field investigation on the Myxomycetes of Ślęża massif has been carried out. Up to the present only 4 species of slime molds from this region were known.

Stemonitis pallida; Matchstick Myxomycetes from West Java, Indonesia
Jurnal Biota, 2022 Slime molds, Myxomycetes, or Mycetozoa are Protozoan that produces fruiting body similar to micro-fungi. The fruiting bodies mostly are tiny goblets, globes, plumes, or other shapes that are difficult to characterize.
