Mycopathologia et mycologia applicata Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

It was observed that yeasts belonging to the genusMetschnikowia parasitize marine copepods both under natural and experimental conditions. The physiological activity ofMetschnikowia sp. was investigated under a variety of conditions and the importance of these organisms in the ecology of the Strait of Georgia has been discussed.
