DNA of Vegetative Bacteriophage Lambda, VI. Electron Microscopic Studies of Replicating Lambda DNA

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.
