We report the results of the first directional point-contact measurements in MgsB1−xCxd2 single crystals with 0.047<x<0.132. The two-gap superconductivity typical of MgB2 persists up to x=0.105. In this region, the values of the gaps Ds and Dp were determined by fitting the Andreev-reflection conductance curves with a two-band Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk sBTKd model, and confirmed by the single-band BTK fit of the s- and p-band conductances, separated by means of a magnetic field. At x=0.132, when Tc=19 K, we clearly observed the merging of the two gaps into one of amplitude D=3 meV.
