Certain strains of Myxomycetes grown in pure culture in liquid media display widely varying chromosome numbers which indicate the presence of polyploid series of amoebae and plasmodia. The implications of these chromosome number variations on existing controversies concerning Myxomycete life cycles and cytology are discussed.
