Summary

Purified preparations of tobacco mosaic and tomato bushy stunt viruses have been found to possess no phosphatase activity towards disodium phenyl phosphate. However, the juice of Turkish tobacco plants was found to possess phosphatase activity; hence, incompletely purified virus preparations may show phosphatase activity due to incomplete removal of the phosphatase present in the starting material.
