Abstract
Studies of benthic Phyco-mycetes in Lake Michigan and Douglas Lake, Michigan showed oomyee-tous fungi to be most common in the former and members of the Chytrldiales most common in the latter. Most chytridiaceous fungi occurred in Douglas Lake between the first week or 10 days in July to the end of that month. No seasonal distribution of fungi could be observed in Lake Michigan. In a preliminary study on vertical distribution, planktonic fungi inhabiting diatoms were most abundant in number of species and thalll at 25 and 30 m in Lake Michigan. Several species of algal parasites were found in the surface waters of Lake Michigan. Saprophytic planktonic fungi, all members of the Oomycetes, were collected by placing "baits" in the epllimnion.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
