Microscopic duel: slime mold vs. mold in a Petri dish

In a laboratory experiment, a slime mold and a Penicillium mold were placed in the same Petri dish, where their unique "rivalry" began. Scientists observed how the two different microorganisms gradually interacted in a confined environment. Both participants developed within the same surface, competing for space and resources. Such experiments help better understand the dynamics of survival and adaptation in the simplest forms of life.
