Are fuligo septica helpful or harmful to the environment?

How are cellular slime molds different from acellular slime molds?

A cellular organism produces ATP (either infecting another organism or not), has ribosomes being able to originate daughter cells, therefore having species. An acellular organism doesn't match this criteria. Examples are virus and prions.


Is slime mold a bacteria?

No, slime mold is not a bacteria. Slime mold is a type of protist, which is a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not classified as either plants, animals, or fungi. Bacteria are a separate group of prokaryotic microorganisms.


Slime mold sexual or asexual?

Slime mold can reproduce both sexually and asexually. In asexual reproduction, slime mold forms spores through a process called sporulation. In sexual reproduction, two different mating types of slime mold fuse to form a zygote, which then grows into a new individual.


Are slime molds multicellular or unicellular?

Two broad groups of slime molds are recognized. The individual cells of cellular slime molds remain distinct-- separated by cell membranes-- during every phase of the mold's life cycle. Slime molds that pass through a stage in which their cells fuse to form large cells with many nuclei are called acellular slime molds.
