Characterization of a Ribonucleic Acid Polymerase Activity Associated with Purified Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus of the Silkworm Bombyx mori¹

Department of Molecular Biology and Virus Laboratory, and Division of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720

ABSTRACT

Purified cytoplasmic-polyhedrosis virus has been found to have associated with it a polymerase activity capable of catalyzing the synthesis of virus-specific, single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) from the double-stranded RNA genome.
