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...

Spectroscopic Detection of a Phytochrome-like Photoreceptor in the Myxomycete Physarum polycephalum and the Kinetic Mechanism for the Photocontrol of Sporulation by Pfr¶ (2001)

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...

Theory of time-resolved somatic complementation and its use to explore the sporulation control network in Physarum polycephalum.

Marwan, Wolfgang

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...
