Abstract
The vegetative diploid plasmodium of the acellular slime mold Didymium iridis undergoes senescence when maintained by routine transfer to fresh medium. A number of isogenic plasmodia will have an average lifespan that is genome specific, yet expressed within the population in a stochastic manner. Multiple sublines derived from a single plasmodium age in a coordinate manner, especially if established during the latter part of the lifespan of the initial plasmodium, suggesting that there is an increasing commitment to senescence as a function of plasmodial age.
