A scientific preparation of an ESA experiment during the IML 1 (International Microgravity Laboratory) mission is reported. The aim of this investigation was to repeat older experiments on the fast rotating clinostat with the slime mold Physarum polycephalum and to combine them with light sensitivity tests. The need to submerge the organism led to some physiological problems, which were partly overcome. The advantage of submersion for studies of effects of gravity for biological systems is discussed. The study shows that it is important to use the fast clinostat for analyzing results of cell biological experiments performed in space.
