Dictyostelium: An Important Source of Structural and Functional Diversity in Drug Discovery
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is an excellent model organism for the study of cell and developmental biology because of its simple life cycle and ease of use.

Changes in slime mould flora in the reservation of Puszczy Śnieżnej Białki
This paper deals with the changes which have taken place after 15 years in the slime-molds flora of the reservation forest of Puszcza Snieżnej Białki, in Silesia. In 1959-60 28 species were known from this region.

Observations on the slime moulds growing on the moulder beech wood
We have found that the most suitable substrate for slime molds developement is the wood of dicotyledoneus trees especially that of beech. This is due to its impermanency and weak resistance to biological agents.

Two results on slime mold computations [PDF]
We present two results on slime mold computations. In wet-lab experiments (Nature'00) by Nakagaki et al. the slime mold Physarum polycephalum demonstrated its ability to solve shortest path problems. Biologists proposed a mathematical model, a system of differential equations, for the slime's adaption process (J. Theoretical Biology'07).

Dictyostelids from a Tropical Forest in Cuba
<p>Six species of dictyostelid cellular slime molds are reported from ten samples of ground soil and ten samples of aerial "canopy soil" collected in November 2002 from a montane tropical forest in the Guamuahaya Mountains of central Cuba.

Signal transduction in the cellular slime molds [PDF]
Intercellular communication in higher organisms depends on the central nervous system and hormones. Simple organisms such as the cellular slime molds communicate intercellularly only by using hormone-like signals. The most intensively studied species of the cellular slime molds is Dictyostelium discoideum.

Myxomycetes within ecotones in temperate and tropical forests
Ecotones are interesting portions of forests where microorganisms can be studied for monitoring and diversity purposes. Given the faster life cycle of these organisms, their study in such a context is important to develop models that allow us to ...

On attraction of slime mould Physarum polycephalum to plants with sedative properties [PDF]
A plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell with many nuclei. Presented to a configuration of attracting and repelling stimuli a plasmodium optimizes its growth pattern and spans the attractants, while avoiding ...

To regulate a distinct degradation pathway introduced by residual monomers in in‐situ gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), tris(4‐fluorophenyl)phosphine (TFPP) is coupled with a voltage hold (VH) protocol. TFPP first covers the high‐Ni cathode surface and then preferentially decomposes during the hold step, forming a cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI ...
