Biological activities and chemical compositions of slime tracks and crude exopolysaccharides isolated from plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum and Physarella oblonga

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2017
Background The myxomycetes derive their common name (slime molds) from the multinucleate trophic stage (plasmodium) in the life cycle, which typically produces a noticeable amount of slimy materials, some of which is normally left behind as a “slime ...

From simulation to reality: experimental analysis of a quantum entanglement simulation with slime molds (Physarum polycephalum) as bioelectronic components

open access: yesFrontiers in Soft Matter
This study investigates whether it is possible to simulate quantum entanglement with theoretical memristor models, physical memristors (from Knowm Inc.) and slime molds Physarum polycephalum as bioelectric components.

Adaptive Load Balancing Ad Hoc Routing Scheme Inspired by True Slime Mold

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2019
Engineering neo-biomimetics, i.e. imitation models based on body structures and behavior of living organisms, relied upon to solve complex problems, have been studied in various fields. In distributed networks, such as ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor

Slime molds from Chile

open access: yes, 2021
Please note that this was a preliminary version of the finally published manuscript. See newer version. Bark was collected from living trees in Chile and cultured in moist chamber cultures. Together with field collections, 18 myxomycete species amd one acrasian were recorded.

Self-starting slime mold [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2007
![Graphic][1] PI3K (arrows) accumulates in the stretching pseudopods of a slithering cell. Hungry cells often wander around, hunting for something tasty. On page [185][2], Sasaki et al.

DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLASMODIAL MYXOMYCETES (SLIME MOLDS) FROM LA MESA ECOPARK, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES

open access: yesBiotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2010
Myxomycetes are ubiquitous in terrestrial forest ecosystems. Thus, this research study looks at the taxonomic diversity and distribution of plasmodial myxomycetes in La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City, Philippines. A total of 240 moist chambers were prepared

Development of a Myxomycete Photoguide as a Teaching Tool for Microbial Taxonomy

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2012
Recently, web-based identification guides have been developed to aid modern taxonomists in identifying organisms. Unfortunately, these guides can only be used wherever Internet access is available.

Use of a fluorescent brightener to demonstrate cellulose in the cellular slime molds.

open access: yesApplied microbiology, 1968
The presence and location of cellulose in different stages of the life cycles of the cellular slime molds can be demonstrated by use of the disodium salt of 4,4'-bis(4-anilino-6-bis (2-hydroxyethyl)-amino-s-triazin-2-ylamino)-2,2' -stilbene disulfonic ...
