Steps to reproduce
Cultivation of P. polycephalum: To cultivate P. polycephalum, we established a stock culture in 55mm petri dishes and grew new cultures in 50 ml conical tubes. Cultures were sealed in sterile bags with a 0.2-micron filter until use. After four days, plasmodium cultures were ready for experiments, stored in opaque cases at room temperature. Culture Setup: Each tube was filled with agar and sterilized oat flakes. A 3 mm aperture at 32.5 ml in each tube allowed for an electro-conductive collar, designed based on Braund and Miranda. Collars, 3D-printed in conductive PLA, connected two tubes via a PVC tube to allow slime mold growth for measurements. Electric Measurements: A Rigol DG1022 function generator generated currents, with volts and amperes measured using a Diligent Analog Discovery 3 circuit. Voltage was recorded across a 150K Ohm resistor and calculated as I=U/R, logged by Digilent Waveform3 software. A Rigol DM3056e multimeter validated results.
