1. Definition
Slime molds or Myxomycota is a group of protists that
look like mushrooms but behave resembles an amoeba.
Myxomycota derived from the word Myxo Which means
mucus, and Mykes Which means fungus.
2. Characteristic of Mixomichota
Shaped body of mucus, so-called slime mold.
Organisms belonging Myxomycetes can be grown on agar
medium, and food in the form of bacteria, mycelium, the pieces in
order.
The food is digested in vacuoles, or by using an enzyme secreted.
Spores can germinate in water or wet substrate into a twin cell
called mikso-flagellata.
In a vegetative state body in the form of naked protoplasm
moving past as amoeba, called plasmodium. Plasmodium will
form a sporangium that produces spores.
 Food reserves in the form of glycogen.
Myxomycetes live in forested land, above the leaves fall, the
wood rotted, or creeping everywhere.
Myxomycetes can move chemotaxis, hidrotaksis, and
Phototaksis negative.
Miksoflagellata can develop into mikso-amoebic after feather
whip vanished. Furthermore generative breeding can occur if
two-amoebic mikso marriage be held amebazigot.
Plasmodium can form fruiting bodies spongarium be
encapsulated by a rigid membrane contains lime, called
peridium. Inside there exist tiny spores membranous keratin
and cellulose.
4. LIFE CYCLE
5. CLASSIFICATION
1. Acrasiomycota (Mushrooms Slime insulated)
Acrasiomycota also called slime mold insulated. At
the time of Plasmodium enlarged and the cell
nucleus divides the individual cells remain separate
when joined to form pseudo-plasmodium. When
food is reduced chemicals released by Amoeba will
combine to form Plasmodium. Plasmodium will
move toward the light. At the moment there is no
food, Plasmodium will stop moving and shaping the
body that contain reproductive spores. At the time
of favorable conditions, spores are left to form a
new Amoeba and the cycle will be repeated
2. Myxomycota (Mushrooms Slime not insulated)
Myxomycota a slime mold that is not insulated. This
fungus multinucleated, every point are not separated
by the bulkhead, are unicellular or multicellular, and
can move freely. Slime molds live in rotting logs,
moist soil, wet garbage, rotten wood, and in the
damp woods.
In Myxomycota, masses of multinucleated called
Plasmodium (not to be confused with plasmodium
that causes malaria), move move on land or along
the forest floor, in leaves, rotten wood to feed on
bacteria. Plasmodium has a lot of heart, but it can
not be divided into separate cells. Myxomycota on
the move can be the size of a grape. When
Plasmodium enlarged, essentially splitting. In
contrast, in acrasidae, cells individuals remain
separate as they combine to form
pseudoplasmodium or multicellular masses.
6. Benefit
Myxomycota in human life there are beneficial or
detrimental. Examples of adverse role is a parasite living on
plants and plant roots will cause infections that swell root
disease called 'Swollen root'. Examples of favorable role is
decomposing carcasses of animals / plants in fresh water,
cleaner organic waste and bacteria eaters. Examples of
Myxomycota is Fuligo sp., Aethalium septicum, Physarum,
Arcyria, Stemonitis, and Dictydium.
