acellular slime mold
(gcide) | slime mold \slime mold\, slime mould \slime mould\n.
1. An unusual fungus-like protist of the phylum Myxomycota or
the class Myxomycetes, having a stage of growth in which
it comprises a naked noncellular multinucleate mass of
creeping protoplasm having characteristics of both plants
and animals; it also has a propagative phase in which it
develops fruiting bodies bearing spores; it is sometimes
classified as a protist. It is called also {acellular
slime mold}. [WordNet 1.5 +PJC]
2. Any of several remarkable amoebalike organisms of the
phylum Acrasiomycota, mostly terrestrial, having a
fruiting phase resembling that of the {acellular slime
molds}, but being cellular and nucleate throughout their
life cycle; called also cellular slime mold. The most
studied species is Dictyostelium discoideum. In their
feeding phase, they live like amoebae as individual cells,
engulfing bacteria as a prime food source. When the food
source diminishes, they begin to aggregate, swarming
together to form clumps which may move toward heat and
light, so as to reach the surface of the ground; they then
differentiate into a form with spores contained within a
sporangium resting on a stalk. When the spores are carried
to another location with adequate food supplies, the
spores may germinate to resume the life cycle. The phase
of aggregation appears to be initiated by release of
cyclic AMP, serving as a signal between the individual
cells. The formation of the fruiting body has some
similarities to differentiation in multicellular
organisms, but the mechanisms are still under study. Some
biologists object to the classification of Dictyostelium
as a slime mold, as it is neither a mold nor slimy.

Dislike, Aversion, Reluctance, Repugnance,
Disgust, Antipathy. Dislike is the more general
term, applicable to both persons and things and arising
either from feeling or judgment. It may mean little more
than want of positive liking; but antipathy, repugnance,
disgust, and aversion are more intense phases of
dislike. Aversion denotes a fixed and habitual dislike;
as, an aversion to or for business. Reluctance and
repugnance denote a mental strife or hostility something
proposed (repugnance being the stronger); as, a
reluctance to make the necessary sacrifices, and a
repugnance to the submission required. Disgust is
repugnance either of taste or moral feeling; as, a
disgust at gross exhibitions of selfishness. Antipathy
is primarily an instinctive feeling of dislike of a
thing, such as most persons feel for a snake. When used
figuratively, it denotes a correspondent dislike for
certain persons, modes of acting, etc. Men have an
aversion to what breaks in upon their habits; a
reluctance and repugnance to what crosses their will; a
disgust at what offends their sensibilities; and are
often governed by antipathies for which they can give no
good reason.
