Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage phi 6 contains three double-stranded RNA genomic segments. We have constructed a virus with an insertion of a kanamycin resistance gene in genomic RNA segment M. The virus forms small, turbid plaques, and its genome is unstable. Virus from a single plaque contained from about 0.1 to...
