Through random genetic mutation and Darwinism, it isn't that hard for Slimes to evolve at the rate they reproduce. And as we hopefully know so far, one bit of DNA into a literal ocean of cell materials is going to create a LOT of slime really quickly. So when the DNA replication ribosomes of a specific Slime in a specific area screw up, they could get a chemical that reacts with the sugars in specific food to create even more ATP and mass from that specific food. These slimes would live better and more often reproduce. Because the supply of this food ususally dwindles with the amount of Slimes then eating it, they evolve into just the general type of sugar gained, defining their diet. However, they will still always have the best chemical reaction to that specific type.

IT IS NOT POOP.

When a Largo Slime encounters a third type of slime DNA in the form of a plort, it would eat that plort, as well. This is where things get crazy. The centrioles cannot accept additional DNA into the structure of the slime, causing the cytoplasm to collapse and glow an eerie rainbow color. The DNA creates an extreme burst of free radicals that char the outer parts of the Largo black. In a futile attempt, the nucleus completely destroys all DNA in the slime's body, while transforming the slime's mind into a mind with one focus: to eat, and eat it all! This entire process is what gives birth to "The Tarr". Aptly named for their sludgy exterior, The Tarr are soups of highly reactive and unstable DNA that are focused on destroying all other slime DNA around it. As the Tarr eats a slime, its DNA is processed by the berserk nucleus; the DNA is torn apart, and the slime's body mass assimilates with the Tarr's. However, this excessive biomass becomes heavily unstable, and the Tarr sheds its extra mass similar to normal slimes. However, their "plorts" are actually exact copies of the Tarr that made them, carrying their own hostility, and their own unstable genetic code.

I'm guessing when the Nucleus "brain" collapses, it would regress the cell back to the original Protist state of sniffing out food and consuming it. Without needing eyes or intelligence all the ATP would go to reproduction, allowing it to make a full copy of itself and not just biomass.
I'm guessing you're one of the... what was it? Three survivors of that tarr experiment, because you are one of the most science-fluent people I've seen in a long time.
