Echinostelium is a genus of slime mould, and the only genus in the family Echinosteliaceae,[1] or Echinosteliidae.[2] It was discovered by Heinrich Anton de Bary in 1855, apparently near Frankfurt am Main.[3] Some species of Echinostelium have a sexual life cycle; others have been shown to be asexual.[4] The plasmodium can divide vegetatively, in a process called plasmotomy, to distinguish it from true cell division.[5]

Species

The genus Echinostelium comprises at least five species:[6]

Echinostelium apitectum K. D. Whitney, 1980
Echinostelium colliculosum K. D. Whitney & H. W. Keller, 1980
Echinostelium corynophorum K. D. Whitney, 1980
Echinostelium fragile Nannenga-Bremekamp, 1961
Echinostelium minutum De Bary in Rostafinsky, 1874

gollark: Downward!

gollark: Upward!

gollark: Do you have autoinscribers?

gollark: Except lategame where you can waste it.

gollark: I'm hoping to move the server to a newer platform eventually, since it turns out regular non-ECC DDR4 is significantly cheaper than ECC DDR3 now, plus lower power usage, and you can get decent amounts of cores without dipping into enterprise hardware now.
