	Mycetozoa - LoveToKnow 1911
		He showed that in the Mycetozoa the spore hatches out as a mass of naked protoplasm which almost immediately assumes a free-swimming flagellate form (zoospore), that after multiplying by division this passes into an amoeboid phase, and that from such amoebae the plasmodia arise, though the mode of their origin was not ascertained by him.
		The individual sporangia of the Mycetozoa are, for the most part, minute structures, rarely attaining the size of a mustardseed, though, in the composite form of aethalia, they may form cake-like masses an inch or more across (fig.
		The species of Mycetozoa are widely distributed over the world in temperate and tropical latitudes where there is sufficient moisture for them to grow, and they must be regarded as not inconsiderable agents in the disintegrating processes of nature, by which complex organic substances are decomposed into simpler and more stable chemical groups.

	Mycetozoa
		The Mycetozoa or Myxomycetes comprise the true slime molds, peculiar protists which take the form of multinucleate amoeboids in the feeding stage but produce sporangia superficially similar to those of fungi.
		The spores release small haploid cells, which may take the form of flagellate swarmers or of small amoebae, which fuse together to form a diploid zygote.

		In such cases the nuclei may be all of one kind, that is to say, not markedly different in size, structure or function, so far as can be seen; or there may be a pronounced morphological differentiation of the nuclei correlated with a difference of function.
		In the Mycetozoa, organisms adapted to a semi-terrestrial life in moist surroundings, the protoplasm is capable, when desiccated, of passing into a tough condition resembling sealingwax, which, when moistened, assumes again its normal appearance and active condition.
		Resting phases, analogous to encystment, are seen in the spores of various forms, especially those of parasitic, habit, which are commonly enclosed in tough, resistant envelopes or sporocysts, and enveloped as a protection against change of medium or of host.

	Tree of Amoebozoa
		The Mycetozoa comprises two distinct groups of “slime molds” — the Myxogastria and Protostelia (Dykstra and Keller 2000).
		In some lineages of Mycetozoa the fruiting body is raised over the substratum on a distinct stalk.
		The monophyly of Mycetozoa was proposed based on elongation factor 1-alpha gene sequences (Baldauf and Doolittle 1997) but it is not always recovered in SSU rRNA trees (Cavalier-Smith et al.

	Amoebozoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In phylogenies based on rRNA their representatives were separate from other amoebae, and appeared to diverge near the base of eukaryotic evolution, as did most slime molds.
		However, revised trees by Cavalier-Smith and Chao in 1996 suggested that the remaining lobosans do form a monophyletic group, and that the archamoebae and Mycetozoa are closely related to it, although the percolozoans are not.
		Originally it was divided into the subphyla Conosa, comprising the archamoebae and Mycetozoa, and Lobosa, including the more typical lobose amoebae.

	Kumagusu's drawing of Trichia Myxomycete
		The treatise was based largely on the specimens and information sent by Kumagusu since 1906 to Gulielma and her father Arthur, and the author praised Kumagusu's continued exertion using an extreme expression in the inscription at the top of its cover (see the image and transcription below).
		Kumagusu's tenacity of and life-long dedication to the research of Myxomycetes are symbolised by this addendum of yet another observation made 16 years after the publication of a treatise which itself had been a testimony of his academic contribution.
		Note on terminology: Arthur and Gulielma Listers used a newer term of 'Mycetozoa' (consisting of Greek roots 'fungus' and '(animal) life') according to their supposition that this form of life was much closer to the animals than to the plants in the spectrum between them, and Minakata Kumagusu basically adopted this view.

		The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds.
		However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.
		Ribosomal RNA trees show the myxogastrid and dictyostelid slime molds as unrelated early branching lineages, but actin and â-tubulin trees place them together as a single coherent (monophyletic) group, closely related to the animal—fungal clade.

		Slime molds are organisms that exist as single individual independent cells for much of their life cycle but then combine to make a larger organism consisting of multiple cells, or consisting of the matter from multiple cells.
		Slime molds were once considered one monophyletic group (i.e., all relatively closely related) within the fungi or perhaps within the protozoa (hence the confusing name Mycetozoa or "fungus animals').
		The modern view increasingly favors the idea that there are mutliple kinds of slime molds that are not closely related, and in fact some workers would put those different kinds in different phyla.

		The Mycetozoa (so-called "social amoebas" or "slime moulds") are a large and ancient group of organisms.

		We have sequenced the elongation factor-1α genes from one member of each division of the Mycetozoa, including Dictyostelium discoideum, for which cDNA sequences were previously available.
		With our data there are now three proteins that consistently support a monophyletic Mycetozoa and at least four that place these taxa within the ‘‘crown’’ of the eukaryote tree.
		We suggest that ribosomal RNA data should be more closely examined with regard to these questions, and we emphasize the importance of developing multiple sequence data sets.

		Rhizaria and Corticata are informally grouped together with the kingdoms Chromista and Plantae as the bikonts, a major eukaryotic clade supported by concatenated protein trees and by the derived gene fusion involving dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase that probably occurred at or close to the base of the bikonts.
		Amoebozoa comprise Mycetozoa, Archamoebae and Lobosa and may be ancestrally uniciliate and unicentriolar; the relatively few Mycetozoa that are biciliate may have doubled their centrioles independently of bikonts, as their anterior cilia are older.
		In contrast, all well-studied bikonts have a pattern of ciliary transformation with a younger anterior cilium.
