Dictyostelium: An Important Source of Structural and Functional Diversity in Drug Discovery
Cells, 2018 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
Acta Mycologica, 2014 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
Acta Mycologica, 2014 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]
Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 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).

Signal transduction in the cellular slime molds [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1982 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
Uniciencia, 2021 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 ...

Algorithms, 2022 The slime mold algorithm (SMA) is a swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the natural oscillatory patterns of slime molds. Compared with other algorithms, the SMA is competitive but still suffers from unbalanced development and exploration and ...

Acta Mycologica, 2014 The litter is a useful substratum for developmen t of the Myxomycetes. On the basis of our own observations and literature data 50 species of the slime molds were found occuring on litter. Species from the order Physarales (33 species) are dominant.

Myxomycetes of the rotting cherry wood
Acta Mycologica, 2014 During the years 1974-1975 on rotting cherry wood development of some Myxomycetes was observed. In that time 6 species of slime molds were noted: Arcyria denudata, Comatricha typhoides, Dyctidium cancellatum, Lycogala epidendrum, Physarum cinereum ...
