Mass Culture of a Slime Mold, Physarum Polycephalum.
The slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, was cultivated in a soluble natural medium in shake flasks and in 30-liter and 50-gal conventional baffled fermentors. Yields of 6 to 10 g (dry weight) per liter were obtained in the large-scale fermentations. Because of the slow growth of the myxomycete, particular attention had to be paid to aseptic technique. The inability of this organism to withstand ...
متن کاملSounds Synthesis with Slime Mould of Physarum Polycephalum
This paper introduces a novel application of bionic engineering: a bionic musical instrument using Physarum polycephalum. Physarum polycephalum is a huge single cell with thousands of nuclei, which behaves like a giant amoeba. During its foraging behavior this plasmodium produces electrical activity corresponding to different physiological states. We developed a method to render sounds from suc...
متن کاملOn the role of the plasmodial cytoskeleton in facilitating intelligent behavior in slime mold Physarum polycephalum
The plasmodium of slime mold Physarum polycephalum behaves as an amorphous reaction-diffusion computing substrate and is capable of apparently 'intelligent' behavior. But how does intelligence emerge in an acellular organism? Through a range of laboratory experiments, we visualize the plasmodial cytoskeleton-a ubiquitous cellular protein scaffold whose functions are manifold and essential to li...
متن کاملThreshold Phenomena in Ghemoreception and Taxis in Slime Mold Physarum polycephalum
The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum reacts to various kinds of chemical substances and moves towards or away from them. Threshold concentration of recognition of chemicals was examined in terms of membrane potential and of the averaged motive force of tactic movement by using a double-chamber method, i.e., a single plasmodium was placed between two compartments through a narrow ditch, and d...
