  • just propagates if paper is wet and there is something to eat, in nature it lives on grass, trees, so solid substrate is fine.

  • Thanks

  • Filter paper on this video was just slightly moisten. Pseudpodia are guided by (1) chemoattractants from bacteria living on oat flakes, (2) humidity, (3) illumination, (4) internal biochemical waves inside the plasmodium.

    Thanks.

  • What does it use to locate other parts of itself? Is it a random process where the unsuccessful arms die off? Is it pheromone driven? What is the nutrition? How moist was the area?

    Nice vid
