摘要在淡水甲藻 Gymnodinium uberrimum 中描述了直径为 385±5 nm 的病毒样颗粒 (VLP)。 VLP 被发现与囊泡病毒质区域相关，并且从囊泡病毒质区域“出芽”。在金藻门马洛单胞菌 (Mallomonas sp.) 中也发现了类似的病毒质。采自休伦湖萨吉诺湾的同一地区。本报告讨论了劳伦五大湖藻类中这些 VLP 的性质及其病毒基质。
SummaryVirus-like particles (VLPs) measuring 385±5 nm in diameter are described in the freshwater dinoflagellateGymnodinium uberrimum. The VLPs are found in association with, and “budding” from a vesicular viroplasmic area. A similar viroplasm was also found in a chrysophycean alga,Mallomonas sp. collected from the same general area in Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron. The nature of these VLPs and their virogenic stroma, in these algae from the Laurentian Great Lakes are discussed in the present report.
