摘要: Glucose deprivation in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum leads to a specific morphotype, highly motile mesoplasmodium. We investigated ultrastructure of both mesoplasmodia and non-starved plasmodia found significantly increased numbers mitochondria glucose-deprived mesoplasmodia. The volume individual was same growth forms. conjecture that number correlates with metabolic state cell: When glucose is absent, forced switch different pathways, which occur inside mitochondria. Furthermore, catabolic cue (such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)) could stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis.
