“…We found a relatively low proportion of Physarales compared to that reported from other regions of the temperate zone (Fefelov 2006, Leontyev 2006, Gmoshinskii 2013, as may be explained by the high number of coniferous substrates in SNNP. Most such substrates are fairly acidic, and substrate pH is a limiting factor for Physarales (Liu et al 2015).…”

“…The four categories are abundant (A > 3.0%), common (C 1.5-3.0%), occasional (O 0.5-1.5%), and rare (R < 0.5%). Leaf litter and small woody debris substrates represent remarkably different microenvironments and commonly support distinct myxomycete communities (Liu et al 2015;Novozhilov et al 2000). To evaluate myxomycete composition for leaf litter and small woody debris and to determine whether the two substrates should be analyzed together or separately, we calculated the classic Jaccard similarity coefficient (Jaccard 1912), with and without adjustment for rare and unseen species (Chao et al 2005) using only the data collected from the control plots in 2013.…”

Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds) are abundant protist predators that feed on bacteria and other microorganisms, thereby playing important roles in terrestrial nutrient cycling. Despite their significance, little is known about myxomycete communities and the extent to which they are affected by nutrient availability. We studied the influence of long‐term addition of N, P, and K on the myxomycete community in a lowland forest in the Republic of Panama. In a previous study, microbial biomass increased with P but not N or K addition at this site. We hypothesized that myxomycetes would increase in abundance in response to P but that they would not respond to the sole addition of N or K. Moist chamber cultures of leaf litter and small woody debris were used to quantify myxomycete abundance. We generated the largest myxomycete dataset (3,381 records) for any single locality in the tropics comprised by 91 morphospecies. In line with our hypothesis, myxomycete abundance increased in response to P addition but did not respond to N or K. Community composition was unaffected by nutrient treatments. This work represents one of very few large‐scale and long‐term field studies to include a heterotrophic protist highlighting the feasibility and value in doing so.

The plasmodial slime molds is the largest group in the phylum Amoebozoa. Its life cycle includes the plasmodial trophic stage and the spore-bearing fruiting bodies. However, only a few species have their complete life cycle known in details so far. This study is the first reporting the morphogenesis of Didymium laxifilum and Physarum album. Spores, from field-collected sporangia, were incubated into hanging drop cultures for viewing germination and axenic oat agar plates for viewing plasmodial development and sporulation. The spores of D. laxifilum and P. album germinated by method of V-shape split and minute pore, respectively. The amoeboflagellates, released from spores, were observed in water film. The phaneroplasmodia of two species developed into a number of sporangia by subhypothallic type on oat agar culture. The main interspecific difference of morphogenesis was also discussed.
