Cycloanthranilylproline (1) and its derivatives (2--4) were isolated from field-collected fruit-bodies of a myxomycete Fuligo candida and their structures were elucidated by spectral data. Compound 4, which was contained in the water-soluble fraction of the extract of this myxomycete, was unstable and quite susceptible to decarboxylation to yield compound 2, which was a major constituent of the EtOAc-soluble fraction of this extract.

Background: Folk biology commonly contains knowledge of many more taxa than those of immediate economic importance. Species with little or no practical use are, however, often overlooked by ethnobiological research. An example are a few Myxomycetes taxa which played an important role in the folk biology and beliefs of pre-industrial Sweden and adjacent Nordic countries, Denmark, Norway and Finland.

The class consists of free-living protists characterised by their complex life cycle, which includes both microscopic (amoebae, flagellates and cists) and macroscopic stages (spore-bearing fruiting bodies, sclerotia, and plasmodia). Within it, the order , with more than 450 recognised species, constitutes the largest group. Although previous studies have shown the polyphyly of some of the traditionally accepted genera, its internal phylogenetic relationships have remained uncertain so far, and together with the lack of data for some key species, it prevented any taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions.

The myxomycete , colloquially referred to as "dog vomit fungus", forms vibrant yellow fruiting bodies (aethalia) on wood chips during warm and humid conditions in spring. In 2018, ideal climatic conditions in Sydney, Australia, provided a rare opportunity to access abundant quantities of aethalia, which enabled the isolation, purification, structure elucidation, and biological screening of two avenalumamide pyrones, fuligopyrone () and fuligopyrone B (). While and did not exhibit any appreciable biological activity, their significant UV absorption at 325 nm suggested they may be acting as transient sunscreens to help protect the fruiting mass from exposure to sunlight.

Background: Myxomycetes are a group of eukaryotes belonging to Amoebozoa, which are characterized by a distinctive life cycle, including the plasmodium stage and fruit body stage. Plasmodia are all found to be associated with bacteria. However, the information about bacteria diversity and composition in different plasmodia was limited.

Biogenic amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is typically metastable and can rapidly transform through aging, dehydration, and/or heating to crystalline calcium carbonate. Gaining insight into its structure and properties is typically hampered by its tendency to crystallize over short time periods once isolated from the host organism, and also by the small quantities that are usually available for study. Here we describe an exceptionally stable hydrated ACC (HACC) precipitated by the cosmopolitan slime mold Fuligo septica (L.
