Abstract

Electron micrographs show the presence of DNA-cores in the virus rods isolated from nuclear polyhedral bodies fromBarathra brassicae, Adoxophyes reticulana andOrgyia antiqua. The DNA-cores in the virus rods are enclosed by virus protein.

Samenvatting

Na behandeling van kernpolyëders vanBarathra brassicae, Adoxophyes reticulana enOrgyia antiqua met 0,1 N natriumcarbonaat werden met de elektronenmicroscoop de afzonderlijke virusstaafjes (fig. 1A, C, F), alsmede dunnere draad- en staafvormige deeltjes waargenomen (fig. 1B, D, E, G, H). Deze deeltjes stellen het deoxyribonucleïnezuur voor, dat als strengen in het virusstaafje aanwezig is.
