Special Features

  • 95+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE - Carolina Biological has over 95 years of experience in providing high-quality science education materials, trusted by educators worldwide. As a leader in the field, they are committed to advancing hands-on learning, offering a vast range of biological specimens, lab equipment, and instructional materials. Carolina's dedication to innovation, quality, and ethical sourcing has made them a go-to resource for schools, colleges, and independent learners.
  • SUFFICIENT FOR A CLASS OF 30 – Provides enough living material for classroom activities and microscopy exercises, ideal for hands-on learning in biology or microbiology settings.
  • EASY TO REACTIVATE UNDER OPTIMAL CONDITIONS – Grows best on 2% agar with Old Fashioned Quaker® Oats at 25° C. When hydrated, the plasmodium resumes movement and begins feeding.
  • IDEAL FOR LIFE CYCLE STUDIES – Demonstrates the complete life cycle of a slime mold, giving students a visual and hands-on understanding of biological dormancy, reactivation, and motility.
  • DORMANT STAGE OF SLIME MOLD – Shipped in its sclerotium phase, Physarum polycephalum remains dormant until rehydrated and placed in favorable conditions, where it transitions back into its active, feeding plasmodium stage.

Description

Genus and Species: Physarum polycephalum (Sclerotium phase) Optimal Medium: 2% Agar with Old Fashioned Quaker Oats Optimal Temperature: 25° C Motility: Plasmodium Classification: Slime Mold (Myxomycetes) Physarum polycephalum is a plasmodial slime mold. The plasmodium is the active feeding stage of the organism. If the plasmodium dries during feeding, it forms a crusted, resting stage called the sclerotium, which we ship in a small box. The sclerotium remains dormant until favorable conditions return, then the plasmodium emerges and proceeds to feed. Optimal medium: 2% Agar with Old Fashioned Quaker Oats. Optimal growth temperature: 25° C. Culture contains enough material for a class of 30 students.
