DNA of vegetative bacteriophage lambda. VI. Electron microscopic studies of replicating lambda DNA

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1971 Jan;68(1):112-5. doi: 10.1073/pnas.68.1.112.

Abstract

Electron micrographs of replicating lambda DNA molecules, during the period of progeny-particle DNA formation, show single-tailed circular structures. The tails are, predominantly, shorter than one viral genome.
