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, thinking its some sort of bacteria. But only with a few examples. The example she gave to 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 everywhere PP was he leaves now those colorful traces. But they also seem to disappear after a while, well at least the colour effect. Seems like this special plasmodium of the organism produces chemicals in its tracks that react with carbohydrates and protein proofing the existenz by showing a pink colouring. Like a chemical indicator. This is great in terms of observation. When you look after the organism after a few hours again, you'll be able to guess where it went. | ||
