Surface and internal changes associated with transition from myxamoebal to microcyst stages in Physarum polycephalum have been observed with transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Nuclear morphology, granules studded with ribosomal-like particles, synthesis of polysaccharides which are deposited exterior to the cell, and origin of material for the cell wall appear to be similar in the amoeba and in the plasmodium. In addition, the viability of the strain used in this research after being allowed to remain in a quiescent or encysted stage was observed to be approximately six months.
利用透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜，已观察到多头绒泡菌从黏变形体阶段转变为微囊肿阶段所伴随的表面和内部变化。在变形体和原质团中，核形态、布满核糖体样颗粒的颗粒、沉积在细胞外部的多糖合成以及细胞壁物质的来源似乎是相似的。此外，本研究中使用的菌株在进入静止或包囊阶段后，其活力被观察到约为六个月。
