粘菌（変形菌）は、かつて博物学者・南方熊楠が魅せられた生き物。落ち葉などの表面に子実体を形成し、好適条件下で多核の変形体に身を変えて移動する。そして、乾燥した条件では、再び子実体へ。子実体は、いつしか弾けて内包された胞子が空中を舞って新天地へと向かう。

 

専門学術雑誌Soil Biology & Biochemistryに掲載された「土壌中の変形菌」に関する総説（Stephenson et al., SBB 43: 2237-2242, 2011）には、こんな記述がある。

 

The dark-spored clade, best represented in public databases, has been targeted in three pioneering studies. Kamono and Fukui (2006) used a short SSU fragment (~460 bp) to investigate the Physarales (one of the two dark-spored orders).

 

加茂野さんの研究がいかにパイオニア研究であった。上記の総説中で、何カ所も加茂野さんの下記３論文が引用されている。極めて理学的な研究なのだが、今後森林生態系における粘菌を代表とする原生生物の生理生態研究が加速されるに違いない。
