Method for freezing slime

Simple Method for Demonstrating Myxobacterial Slime.

the time, distinct differences between encapsulated and unencapsulated bacteria (Fig. 3 and 4). Experience so far has shown that whatever is uncertain with skim milk is usually uncertain with nigrosin. Evidence that the skim-milk method is extremely sensitive was obtained with a bacterium with some of the characteristics of a cytophaga. The separated cells were connected by mucoid strands, so f...

A Simple Method for Freezing Bovine Embryos

New method for detecting slime production by coagulase negative staphylococci.

An alternative method for detecting the production of slime by coagulase negative staphylococci was compared with the routinely used Christensen method on 124 isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci from carriage sites, blood cultures, and infected peritoneal dialysis fluids. The alternative method requires the use of a specially prepared solid medium--brain heart infusion broth, supplemen...

A Method for Growing Bio-memristors from Slime Mold

Our research is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the electronic properties of organisms in order to engineer novel bioelectronic systems and computing architectures based on biology. This specific paper focuses on harnessing the unicellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum to develop bio-memristors (or biological memristors) and bio-computing devices. The memristor is a resistor that ...
