Isolierung, Strukturaufklärung und Untersuchungen zur Biosynthese von Sekundärmetaboliten aus Physarum polycephalum (Myxomycetes) und Pentapora fascialis (Bryozoa), Dissertation von Sophie Eisenbarth, LMU München

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

  • Medium: 23.10.2018
    • 100 ml of distilled water
    • 2g of agar
    • oat flakes


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: 13.11.2018
    • 100ml of distilled water
    • 3g of agar
    • oat flakes
  • Medium: 04.12.2018
    • 100 ml of distilled water
    • 1g of agar
    • Edible Color
    • oat flakes
  • Medium: 18.12.2018, Medium of my Project: [1]
    • 100 ml of distilled water
    • 2g of agar
    • oat flakes

Second Experience of Physarum with Medium of Potato and Oat

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. [2], EIGHTH EXPERIMENT.

  • Medium: 20.11.2018
    • 100 ml water
    • 12 gr cooked potatoes
    • 12 gt oat flakes
    • (mix together)
    • 2 gr Agar
    • Mix all together and boiled for 2 minutes
  • Medium: 07.12.2018
    • 100 ml water
    • 12 gr cooked potatoes
    • 2 gr Agar
    • Mix all together and boiled for 2 minutes
  • Medium: 07.12.2018
    • 100 ml water
    • 12 gt oat flakes
    • 2 gr Agar
    • Mix all together and boiled for 2 minutes
  • After this Experiment, I made an other Medium with more than wasser
  • Medium: 11.12.2018
    • 150 ml water
    • 12 gr cooked potatoes
    • 12 gt oat flakes
    • (mix together, filter)
