Abstract: We report the observation of coexisting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and Fermi gas in a magnetic trap. With a very small fraction of thermal atoms, the Li-7 condensate is quasipure and in thermal contact with a Li-6 Fermi gas. The lowest common temperature is 0.28 muK similar or equal to 0.2(1)T-C = 0.2(1)T-F where T-C is the BEC critical temperature and T-F the Fermi temperature. The Li-7 condensate has a one-dimensional character.
