Abstract

Physarum polycephalum, cultivated on a glucose-deficient agar surface, forms disconnected foraging units (satellites). Our aim is to shed light onto the amoeboid locomotion of the slime mould, using satellites as reproducible and well-defined models and employing a wide range of techniques. This work was presented at PhysNet 2015.

Keywords: physarum polycephalum shuttle streaming amoeboid locomotion
