Myxomycetes, also known as plasmodial slime moulds or myxogastrids, are a widespread but often overlooked group of amoeboid eukaryotes. There are still many regions where they have been poorly studied or entirely overlooked. In an effort to more completely document myxomycete diversity and distribution in Australia, we provide the first report of myxomycete occurrence on the Tiwi Islands. Four of the species recorded from Bathurst Island are new records for the Northern Territory. This natural history note is based on 50 moist chamber cultures prepared with substrate samples collected on Bathurst Island. These cultures yielded 28 specimens representing a total of twelve species in eight genera.

来自澳大利亚北领地巴瑟斯特岛（提维群岛之一）的黏菌丝的最早记录

粘菌丝，也被称为疟原虫粘液霉菌或粘菌丝，是一种广泛存在但经常被忽视的变形虫类真核生物。仍然有许多地区对其研究不足或被完全忽视。为了更完整地记录澳大利亚粘菌的多样性和分布，我们提供了提维群岛发生粘菌的第一份报告。巴瑟斯特岛记录的四个物种是北领地的新记录。此自然历史记录是基于使用巴瑟斯特岛上收集的底物样品制备的50种潮湿室培养物得出的。这些文化产生了28个标本，代表了8个属中的总共12个物种。
