The slime mold algorithm is a meta-heuristic algorithm, based on the behavior of aggregated slime molds as they stream in search of food. It is described as a simple, efficient, and flexible way of solving optimization problems , such as finding the shortest path between nodes in a network.

Eumycetozoa (from Ancient Greek εὖ (eû) 'true' μύκης (múkēs) 'fungus' and ζῷον (zôion) 'animal'), or true slime molds, [7] is a diverse group of protists that behave as slime molds and develop fruiting bodies, either as sorocarps or as sporocarps.

Trichiales (synonymous with Trichiida) is an order of slime moulds in the phylum Amoebozoa. Trichiales is one of five orders in the group Myxomycetes (also called Myxogastria), or the true plasmodial slime molds. [2] It is also currently categorized under the superorder Lucisporidia with its sister group, Liceales. [2]
[62] [63] Several algae species are multicellular protists, and slime molds have unique life cycles that involve switching between unicellular, colonial, and multicellular forms. [64] The number of species of protists is unknown since only a small proportion has been identified.
