Abstract

We show how the slime mould can be used as a chemical sensor and investigate how the organism combines different sensory information. We have produced a biosensor using protoplasmic tubes of Physarum which is capable of detecting various biologically active chemicals in the local environment; this progress is akin to developing a biological nose using the organism’s natural sensing ability.
