Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 is an anaerobic non-cellulosome utilizing cellulolytic bacterium originally isolated from the cow rumen microbial community. Efforts to elucidate its cellulolytic machinery have resulted in the proposal of numerous models which involve cell-surface attachment via a combination of cellulose-binding fibro-slime proteins and pili, the production of cellulolytic vesicle...

We introduce the Slime Mold Graph Repository, a novel data collection promoting the visibility, accessibility and reuse of experimental data revolving around network-forming slime molds. By making data instantly available for researchers across multiple disciplines, the SMGR promotes novel research as well as the reproduction of original results. While SMGR data may take various forms, we stres...

Hagfishes are known for their ability to rapidly produce vast quantities of slime when provoked. The slime is formed via the interaction between seawater and two components released by the slime glands: mucin vesicles from gland mucous cells, which swell and rupture in seawater to form a network of mucus strands, and intermediate filament-rich threads, which are produced within gland thread cel...

Punch, J. D. (University of Minnesota, St. Paul), J. C. Olson, Jr., and J. V. Scaletti. Amino acid utilization by Alcaligenes viscolactis for growth and slime production. J. Bacteriol. 89:1521-1525. 1965.-The ability of Alcaligenes viscolactis to utilize amino acids in a basal salts solution (K(2)HPO(4), KH(2)PO(4), MgSO(4), MnSO(4), FeSO(4), NaCl) was studied. Of 27 amino acids, only l-asparag...
