What glucose concentrations are ideal for slime mould growth/attraction?
Hello! I'm an IB student and I've decided to do my extended essay (like a research project) on physarum polycephalum :)My experimental design is essentially creating a rectangular runner of agar, placing my slime mould sample on one end and having a well of glucose solution at the other end. I will then be measuring the rate at which the slime mould grows towards this nutrient source.I was wondering if anybody would happen to know approximately what concentration of glucose would allow for the…See More
