Abstract
Plasmodia migrate towards those situations which increase the frequency of their alternations in streaming, and away from those which decrease the frequency. Therefore peristalsis-like waves in Physarum move in the direction opposite from the net movement of the organism. This mechanism is fundamentally related to other known types of chemotaxis.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
