Pfitzer’s name for a group of Fungi (Oosporeæ) related to the Per ono sporeæ. The individuals consist of a sacciform thallus, which at first is unicellular, but by the formation of transverse partitions is subsequently divided into several cells, some of which develop into oogonia and others into antheridia. These organs, whether on the same or on a different thallus, come into contact, the membranes separating them at the are perforated, and the entire protoplasm of the antheridium pa es into that of the oogonium, the result of the union being a lobular, thick-walled oospore. The oogonia of the A. differ from those of the Per ono sporeæ in Fase alr no distinct differentiation into periplasm and ovum (oosphere) before impregnation. [B, 54.]
