Physarum Polycephalum Literature

Wikipedia link: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physarum_polycephalum Physarum polycephalum, also referred as slime molds, belongs to the supergroup Amoebozoa, phylum Mycetozoa, and class Myxogastria. P. polycephalum, often referred to as the “many-headed slime,” is a slime mold that inhabits shady, cool, moist areas, such as decaying leaves and logs. It is sensitive to light; in particular, light can repel the slime mold and be a factor in triggering spore growth.

First Experience of Physarum with Medium of Ager

The first week, 23.10.2018

  • Medium:
    • 100 ml of distilled water
    • 2g of agar
    • oat flakes

The forth week, 13.11.2018

I made a new sample with a new medium. Parallel to the samples that I use for the experiment I started to use this new Medium to grow the specimen.

  • Medium:
    • 100ml of distilled water
    • 1g of agar
    • oat flakes


The seventh week, 04.12.2018

The eighth week, 11.12.2018

  • After this Experiment, I made an other Medium
  • Medium:
    • 150 ml water
    • 12 gr cooked potatoes
    • 12 gt oat flakes
    • (mix together, filter)
    • 2 gr Agar
    • Mix all together and boiled for 2 minutes


The ninth week, 18.12.2018




Second Experience of Physarum with Medium of Potato and Oat

The sixth week, 27.11.2018

I made a new sample with a new medium. Parallel to the samples that I use for the experiment I started to use this new Medium to grow the specimen (to have live healthy samples to experiment), I started from the formula that Fernanda Caicedo gets to in her previous experiments, and I altered for my special use.
