A first glimpse at the transcriptome of Physarum polycephalum (2008)
Glöckner, Gernot, Golderer, Georg, Werner-Felmayer, Gabriele, Meyer, Sonja, Marwan, Wolfgang
Abstract Background Physarum polycephalum , an acellular plasmodial species belongs to the amoebozoa, a major branch in eukaryote evolution. Its complex life cycle and rich cell biology is reflected...
Tilman Lamparter, Wolfgang Marwan
Sporulation of the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum (Myxomycetales) can be triggered by the far-red/red reversible Physarum phytochrome. Physarum plasmodia were analyzed with a purpose-built...
Regulation of Switching Frequency and Bias of the Bacterial Flagellar Motor by CheY and Fumarate
Montrone, Marco, Eisenbach, Michael, Oesterhelt, Dieter, Marwan, Wolfgang
The effect of CheY and fumarate on switching frequency and rotational bias of the bacterial flagellar motor was analyzed by computer-aided tracking of tethered Escherichia coli. Plots of cells...
Signal Processing and Flagellar Motor Switching During Phototaxis of Halobacterium salinarum
Nutsch, Torsten, Marwan, Wolfgang, Oesterhelt, Dieter, Gilles, Ernst Dieter
Prokaryotic taxis, the active search of motile cells for the best environmental conditions, is one of the paradigms for signal transduction. The search algorithm implemented by the cellular...
Mutants of Physarum polycephalum can be complemented by fusion of plasmodial cells followed by cytoplasmic mixing. Complementation between strains carrying different mutational defects in the...
A Quantitative Model of the Switch Cycle of an Archaeal Flagellar Motor and its Sensory Control
Nutsch, Torsten, Oesterhelt, Dieter, Gilles, Ernst Dieter, Marwan, Wolfgang
By reverse-engineering we have detected eight kinetic phases of the symmetric switch cycle of the Halobacterium salinarum flagellar motor assembly and identified those steps in the switch cycle that...
