Plasmodia migrate towards those situations which increase the frequency of their alternations in streaming, and away from those which decrease the frequency. Therefore peristalsis-like waves in Physarum move in the direction opposite from the net movement of the organism. The mechanism is fundamentally related to other known types of chemotaxis.
疟原虫会向那些增加其在流动中交替频率的情况移动,而远离那些降低频率的情况。因此,黏菌中的蠕动样波朝着与生物体净运动相反的方向移动。该机制与其他已知的趋化类型在根本上相关。
