36. Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review
and summarize certain publications and to assess the present state
of the field of algal virology. This paper includes comparative
descriptions of the known morphological, chemical, and physical
properties of all presently known algal viruses. It covers pertinent
aspects of research into the infection cycle as it relates to
normal conditions of host and virus development as well as altered
states. The concluding remarks are devoted to the ecology of
algal viruses and the impact of these viruses as potential biological
control agents. A comprehensive bibliography on algal viruses
(through January, 1972) is included.
