Polycephalum is really bad contaminated. So I tried to clean it in water und extract the mold. I also cooked new media to attach PP to it after cleaning. One dish for the really clean examples of PP and one for the one that still got some contamination on them. Let's see if I manage to get them healthy again in order to work with them. | Polycephalum is really bad contaminated. So I tried to clean it in water und extract the mold.

I received an example from Paola, because my Polycephalum wouldn't show up and grow. I also used something of her Potatoe-oat mix for agar plates. Paola experienced some pink stuff showing up in the dish after a while. But only with a few examples. The example she gave me is also doing the same. And it's somehow amazing. I did some reading and found out that everywhere PP moves it leaves slime traces full of chemicals. Mostly carbohydrates and sugars in it. This is an external spatial memory. It lets the organism remember where it already was in ordner not return back twice. In hour case thos tracks turn pink in the dish with the potato-oat mix. So every PP was he leaves now those colorful traces. But they also seem to disappear after a while, well at least the color effect. Seems like this special plasmodium of the organism produces chemicals in its tracks that react with carbohydrates and protein. | I received an example from Paola, because my Polycephalum wouldn't show up and grow.
