Abstract

MANY authors have reported the isolation from fungi of virus particles containing double-stranded RNA1–5. It has also been found that extracts of Penicillium brevi compactum, P. chrysogenum and P. stoloniferum can lyse certain bacteria. Fractionation of such extracts and also disruption of spores have revealed the presence of several types of virus particles differing in their biochemical and biological properties. This series of viruses was called PBV, with reference to the host (P) and to their ability to lyse bacteria (B).
