Slime Molds
The Slime Molds are also named as Slime Fungus which is a Heterotrophic organism once respected as a fungus but later it was classified with the Protista. Slime Molds have classed into Eukarya or Eukaryotes which inserts the plants and animals according to the new classification system which gets the basis the analysis of the Nucleic Acid which is a Genetic Material. The Acrasiomycota and Myxomycota are the two major groups of Slime Molds. These groups have been related to phylum division which is Myxomycota and the cellular division of Slime Molds named Acrasiomycota.
The life cycle of the Slime Molds is complex and it may be divided into animal like motile phase. In animal like motile phase growth and feeding occur, a plantlike, immotile, reproductive phase. At where the cellulose is abundant the motile phase mostly finds which lies under rotting logs and damp leaves. For creeping Ameboid a plasmodium consists of amabalike cells and in Myxomycota of Coenocytic mass of protoplasm. The Plasmodia in many times births and grows to a diameter of several inches and changes its color frequently and normally these colors are bright. A process names Phagocytosis are used by both types of ingest solid particles. Slime Molds live on living microorganisms for example bacteria, yeasts, decaying vegetations and many others. Before enter the phase of the reproduction by the Slime Molds, they move to drier and better lit place. The Slime Molds, Amebalike or other cells travel together and there number up to 125,000 individual cells, they form a multicellular mass which is called a Pseudo-Plasmodium.
The plasmodium or pseudo-plasmodium is changed into one or more reproductive parts which are called fruiting bodies. Each fruiting body consists of a stem topped by spore making capsule which is similar to the reproduction procedure of many types of the fungi. At the result the cellulose walled spores are birthed and diverge and build in wet places, they also leave naked cells. In the matter of cellular Slime Molds each spore is leaved and it becomes a single ameba. This ameba sucks lonely until starving cells leave a liquid which normally a chemical. This chemical causes slime molds to bucket into a new pseudo-plasmodium and this process is looped. In the matter of sexual reproduction, two haploid amebas combine and overwhelm surrounding amebas. This combination makes a single organism which is called a macrosyst.
There have been sixty five cellular and five hundreds Plasmodial slime mold kinds found in the jungles and in the lawns across the world. In some kinds of the plasmodium if there are favorable conditions, they can cover the area of the several square feet. A Slime Mold in the form of club-root births a disease of cabbage and related plants.
