- 1989 ----- color ----- 19 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- The slime molds are a unique group of single-celled organisms recognized by botanists as Fungi and by zoologists as Protista. The life cycle of Myxomycetes (plasmodial or acellular) is: fruiting body (fungal-like reproductive stage), haploid spores formed by meiosis, haploid gametes, single cell diploid zygote, single cell multinucleated plasmodium, sclerotium and back to fruiting body. Reproduction is sexual. The life cycle of Acrasiomycetes (cellular) is: fruiting body, haploid spores, haploid myxamoeabae, aggregation, grexes and back to fruiting body. Reproduction is asexual.
