Martin Grube: Slime Mold as versatile model organisms for natural sciences

Physarum polycephalum is a biological curiosum, a huge amoeba, not fungi, not plant, not animal. Biologist Martin Grube will present some fascinating characteristics of the acellular macro-organism and explain the reasons why it is of interest not only to biologists, but also biochemists and biophysicists. Further he will give a brief live demonstration of his growth chamber prototype he specifically developed to interface Physarum with the environment and computers.
