Slime Mold Video
نویسنده
چکیده
This video is composed of a sequence of films created by John Tyler Bonner [5] in the 1940s to show the life cycle of the cellular slime mold [6], Dictyostelium discoideum . As only the second person to study slime molds, Bonner frequently encountered audiences who had never heard of, let alone seen, the unusual organism. He therefore decided to create a film to present at seminars in order to introduce his object of study. The time-lapse film captivated audiences; indeed, Bonner has stated that the film ?always stole the show?.

Simulation Model For The Whole Life Cycle Of The Slime Mold Dictyostelium Discoideum
Slime molds are fascinating organisms, they can either live as an organism consisting out of a single cell or they can form a multi-cellular organism. Therefore from the biological point of view, the slime molds are studied in order to understand the evolutionary step from a single cell organism to a multi-cellular organism. Studies have shown that the behavior of cooperating single cell organi...
متن کاملNon-linear Bioelectronic Element: Schottky Effect and Electrochemistry
Asymmetric electrical contact (gold and indium) was performed to the slime mold. Electrical characterization of such structure revealed rectifying behavior due to the Schottky effect and a hysteresis due to the electro-chemical activity within the slime mold. Physarum polycephalum belongs to the species of order Physarales, subclass Myxogastromycetidae, class Myxomycetes, and division Myxosteli...

متن کاملOccurrence of Fuligo gyrosa Causing Slime Mold of Oriental Melon
Recently, a severe slime mold infestation affected oriental melon plants in fields in Chilgok county, Gyeongbuk province, Korea. Specimens were collected from the fields and examined for identification. A species of Myxomycetes, Fuligo gyrosa, was identified based on its morphological characteristics. This is the first report that F. gyrosa causes slime mold of oriental melon.
متن کاملPhotoreceptor pigment that induces differentiation in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum.
An extract of small molecules (molecular weight less than 500) of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum undergoes a shift in ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum upon illumination. This illumination also confers on the extract the ability to induce sporulation when injected into a starved, unilluminated slime mold. The spectral shift and appearance of the sporulation-inducing activity both oc...
