A Malleable Metaphor: Physarum polycephalum as artistic and educational medium
نویسنده
چکیده
The slime mold Physarum polycephalum is a well-established model organism within fields of biology, physics and computing. It is also increasingly employed within art and design disciplines, pedagogic practices and public engagement activities as a vehicle for exploring questions of intelligence, agency and emergence. This work was presented at PhysNet 2015.

Evaluation of Physarum polycephalum plasmodial growth and lipid production using rice bran as a carbon source
BACKGROUND The myxomycete Physarum polycephalum appears to have remarkable potential as a lipid source for biodiesel production. The present study evaluated the use of rice bran as a carbon source and determined the medium components for optimum growth and lipid production for this organism. RESULTS Optimization of medium components by response surface methodology showed that rice bran and ye...
متن کاملCalcium and malate are sporulation-promoting factors of Physarum polycephalum.
Fruiting body formation (sporulation) is a distinctive, irreversible differentiation process in the life cycle of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The most important requirement for sporulation of Physarum is a period of starvation, and normally sporulation proceeds in the light. It is shown here that by omitting the liquid sporulation medium and elevating the temperature from 21 to 25 deg...
متن کاملHigh 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 کاملAn Active Poroelastic Model for Mechanochemical Patterns in Protoplasmic Droplets of Physarum polycephalum
Motivated by recent experimental studies, we derive and analyze a two-dimensional model for the contraction patterns observed in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum. The model couples a description of an active poroelastic two-phase medium with equations describing the spatiotemporal dynamics of the intracellular free calcium concentration. The poroelastic medium is assumed to consis...
