| mold guide | A guide used to specify the shape of artificial teeth, or of an artificial tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pink bread mold | A fungus of the group Ascomycetes. It is haploid and grows as a mycelium. There are two mating types and fusion of nuclei of two opposite types leads to meiosis followed by mitosis. The resulting eight nuclei generate eight ascospores. These are arranged linearly in an ordered fashion in a pod like ascus, so that the various products of meiotic division can be identified and isolated. Because of this, Neurospora crassa is one of the classic organisms for genetic research, studies on biochemical mutants led Beadle and Tatum to propose the seminal one gene one enzyme hypothesis.

| slime | 1. Soft, moist earth or clay, having an adhesive quality; viscous mud. "As it [Nilus] ebbs, the seedsman Upon the slime and ooze scatters his grain." (Shak) 2.

| slime layer | <biology, microbiology> A diffused layer of polysaccharide exterior to the bacterial cell wall. Compare: capsule and glycocalyx. (09 Oct 1997) |
| slime mould | <biology, microbiology> Two distinct groups of fungi, the cellular slime moulds or Acrasidae that include Dictyostelium and the acellular slime moulds or Myxomycetes that include Physarum. These nonphototrophic eukaryotic microorganisms lack cell walls, which aggregate to form fruiting structures (cellular slime moulds) or simply masses of protoplasm (acellular slime moulds).
