1. Introduction. The purpose of the present paper is to study blowup mechanism for a system of parabolic equations. It arises in mathematical biology to describe the chemotactic feature of slime molds.We take the form proposed by Nanjundiah [20], simplifying the one previously given by Keller and Segel [14]. It is stated as follows, where u = u (x, t) and v = v(x, t) stand the density of slime molds and the concentration chemical substances secreted by them, respectively:
