Its thallus consists of a slightly developed, pyriform, extramatrical portion, a strengthened swarmspore body and a much-branched intramatrical rhizoid tuft (Fig. 24, 3). At the formation of the zoospores, the content of the extramatrical part passes out into a pyriform sac where, inside the membrane, it breaks up into zoospores (Fig. 24, 4), which in turn are freed by degeneration of the sac wall. Hypnospores are formed asexually instead of Fig. 25.—Sporophlyctis rostrata. 1. Infected filaments of Draparnaldia glomerata. 2. Young individual. 3. Mature individual. 4 to 6. Akinete formation. 7 to 9. Copu- lation. (X 400; after Serbinov, 1907.) In the following species an extramatrical development of the thallus becomes prominent, so that the single individuals simultaneously pene- trate several plants of gregarious hosts, as in Bhizophlyctis Braunii which is parasitic or saprophytic on diatoms and desmids. A similar species is Sporophlyctis rostrata (Serbinov, 1907) whose thallus is extramatrical except for the last fine filaments which penetrate the host cell (Fig. 25, 1). The saccate portion of the strengthened zoospore is originally uninucleate, but becomes multinucleate by repeated nuclear divisions. At maturity, the whole content passes out into a sac (Fig. 25, 4) and there breaks up into uninucleate, non-motile akinetes which are liberated by the rupture of the membrane (Fig. 25, 6). Copu- lation precedes the formation of hypnospores. Two individuals fuse, the content of the male passing over into the female (Fig. 25, 7 to 9). The wall of the hypnospore consists of two layers.
