title: Electron microscopy of some special cell contracts in yeasts.
abstract: Anastomosis in Endomycopsis javanensis and some other filamentous yeasts was brought about by contact of a denticle from one cell with the wall of another cell, resulting in the disappearance of the outer layer and the thickening of the inner layer of the cell wall of the contacted cell. Another form of contact between cells was the penetration of one cell by a denticle on another cell which had grown out to a stalk; this occurred between cells of E. javanensis and between cells of this species and other yeast species.
