High molecular weight phosphorus compound in nucleic acid extracts of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum.
Orthophosphate labeled with (32)P was added to the growth medium of the plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum. The nucleic acid extracts of such plasmodia contained (32)P that was not removed by nuclease, protease, or amylase. This labeled material was shown to be separable from nucleic acids, could be eluted from a methylated albumin-kieselguhr column at 0.5 m NaCl, was of high molecular weight, ...
متن کاملMass 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 کاملThe Enzymatic Oxidation of Ascorbic Acid in the Slime Mold, Physarum Polycephalum.
Fluoride ___ lycolytic No direct evidence is as Fluoride System yet available concerning the nature of the glycerol Pyruvic acid kinase. Presumably like plant hexokinase (13) it is localized in the mitochondria. The isolation and characterization of the enzymes which participate TCA CYCLE in this scheme will contribute -/Malanate further information to the comparative biochemical aspects of thi...
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 کاملThe Changing Pattern of Birefringence in Plasmodia of the Slime Mold, Physarum Polycephalum
Plasmodia of the acellular slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, reveal a complex and changing pattern of birefringence when examined with a sensitive polarizing microscope. Positively birefringent fibrils are found throughout the ectoplasmic region of the plasmodium. In the larger strands they may be oriented parallel to the strand axis, or arranged circularly or spirally along the periphery of e...
