چکیده
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 this problem. CO2

The Effect of Actidione on Mitosis in the Slime Mold Physarum Polycephalum
Actidione, reportedly a specific inhibitor of protein synthesis, was found to reduce the incorporation of labeled amino acids into proteins of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum without drastically inhibiting the incorporation of nucleic acid precursors into RNA. This inhibitor was found to completely block the ensuing mitosis if it was added at any time between telophase and late prophase. P...
متن کاملPhysarum
What is Physarum? Physarum, or more precisely Physarum polycephalum, is an acellular slime mold, or myxogastrid. Myxogastrids are closely related to the cellular slime molds, or dictyostelids, including the well known Dictyostelium discoideum. Physarum is more distantly related to the protostelids (together these groups are discussed as the eumycetozoans, or ‘true’ slime molds) and very distant...
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...
متن کاملAssessing the chemotaxis behavior of Physarum polycephalum to a range of simple volatile organic chemicals
The chemotaxis behavior of the plasmodial stage of the true slime mold Physarum Polycephalum was assessed when given a binary choice between two volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) placed in its environment. All possible binary combinations were tested between 19 separate VOCs selected due to their prevalence and biological activity in common plant and insect species. The slime mold exhibited pos...
متن کاملPhysarum 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.
