Slime moulds and the genetic experiments

Do you know, what are the slime moulds? The very interesting form of organisms. Those specific mushrooms have two kinds of shape. One is like the mushroom when this creature makes fruiting bodies and delivers the spores around. Another form of the creature is traveling like an amoeba and hunts other organisms like bugs.  Slime moulds seem like split, and they are tempting bugs to drink, and then the thread attacks to that bug.


But one interesting thing is, that Slime moulds are also working like other mushrooms, and they are destroying organic waste. There have been investigations that those slime moulds can be used as the cleaners in some pollution cases, and those mushrooms just pumped to the areas, where would be organic pollution. And that would hope to increase the speed of scattering that pollution. But there have been rumors, that those special organisms use as the biological weapon has been thought in some military laboratories.


The slime moulds could be pumped to the enemy skin, and then they would be just be melted by enzymes of that mushroom. In the simulations in those slime moulds cells would transfer the genomes, what increases the growing speed of the cell mass of that organism. So in the real world that could be the same genome, what causes cancer. And then the cell mass would look like white foam on the ground. That organism could be very lethal, and the victims could just disappear.


When we are talking about simulations, we are not talking about that genomes were really transferred. This type of biological weapon could be easier to control than normal bacteriological weapons. In the cells of the slime mould can also be injected genomes, what makes those cells product luciferin. That genome makes fireflies to shine. And it could make easier to track those cells of mushroom. This kind of test would be very dangerous for humans and animals because if that mushroom would accidentally be released to nature, the results could be horrified.
