Re: [DIYbio] P. Polycephalum (Slime mold) responding to predation/competition

That is what appears to be the case.  It isn't anything especially unexpected for microorganisms in general, just something that I can't find any documentation for concerning this species.  D. Disctostellium (Predatory slime mold) is known to spore when certain predators are nearby but I haven't found any studies about P. Polycephalum exhibiting the same behavior.  I just started a new plate of P. Polycephalum that I intend to contaminate on Tuesday with the same mold.  I doubt I'm seeing anything new but one can dream right?
