title: [Study of the life cycle of fungal parasite from fishes (author's transl)].
abstract: In pure culture the parasitic fungus isolated from fish shows a remarkable peculiarity for it can: a) exhibit caryogamy in dicaryotic elements that are either small yeast-like cells or short mycelial tubes expanding from larger yeasts; b) conjugate two yeastlike circular isogametes and produce thereafter an oocyst in which endospores take form; c) merge two hyphae expanding from two round cells and produce by means of this somatogamous process a sporangium in which endospores take form.
