Algal virus: isolation

R S SAFFERMAN et al. Science. .

Abstract

Freshwater blue-green algae of the genera Lyngbya, Plectonema, and Phormidium are susceptible to a virus recently isolated from a waste-stabilization pond. Electron micrographs of a partially purified preparation show that the viral particle has an icosahedral structure about 66 mmicro in diameter.
