Modelling the Aggregation Process of Cellular Slime Mold by the Chemical Attraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We put into exercise a comparatively innovative analytical modus operandi, the homotopy decomposition method (HDM), for solving a system of nonlinear partial differential equations arising in an attractor one-dimensional Keller-Segel dynamics system. Numerical solutions are given and some properties show evidence of biologically practical reliance on the parameter values. The reliability of HDM and the reduction in computations give HDM a wider applicability.

Physarum attraction: Why slime mold behaves as cats do?
We discuss potential chemical substances responsible for attracting acellular slime mold Physarun polycephalum to valerian root. The contributes toward fundamental research into pheromones and chemo-attracts of primitive organisms such as slime molds. The results show that significant information could be gained about the action of compounds on higher organisms.
متن کاملcAMP pulses coordinate morphogenetic movement during fruiting body formation of Dictyostelium minutum.
Aggregation in the primitive cellular slime mold Dictyostelium minutum proceeds by means of chemotaxis toward a continuously secreted folic acid analog [De Wit, R. J. W. & Konijn, T. M. (1983) Cell Differ. 12, 205-210]. The onset of culmination is marked by the appearance of concentric waves of cell movement on the aggregate surface. Culmination proceeds by the chemotactic attraction of amoebae...
متن کاملAnode Slime Gained During Electrolysis Process of Secondary Copper Anodes
The aim of this research is to get a better understanding of the electrolytic refining process in order to yield the anode slime. Three types of secondary copper anodes are electro refined in an electrolytic system, where the electrolyte is an acid of copper sulphate solution. As a result of the electro-refining process the anode slime has been gained as secondary product. The experimental ...
متن کاملEffect of concanavalin A on cellular slime mold development: premature appearance of membrane-bound cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase.
Concanavalin A delays aggregation of slime mold amoebae, apparently by interfering with the cells' response to the chemotactic agent, cyclic AMP. Concanavalin A also induces the premature appearance in non-aggregating cells of a membrane-bound cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase normally found only at the time of aggregation. The appearance of this enzyme is not due to activation of an inactive form o...
متن کاملCell Fusion in the Cellular Slime Mold, Dictyostelium Discoideum
The myxamebae of the cellular slime mold feed upon bacteria and multiply by fission. As soon as the food supply is exhausted fission ceases. They aggregate and form migrating pseudoplasmodia, then fruit (Bonner, 1959). Huffman and Olive (1964) reported that in Dwtyostehum &s~oideum some cell fusions were observed at tile very early aggregation stages, but they observed no fusion at later stages...
