Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate that computation of spanning trees and implementation of general purpose storage-modification machines can be executed by a vegetative state of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. We advance theory and practice of reaction-diffusion computing by studying a biological model of reaction-diffusion encapsulated in a membrane.
