TL;DR
Electron micrographs of surface films containing the replicative form of the DNA of bacteriophage, �X174 show ring structures, whose average contour length is 1.64 �, which have the characteristic appearance of double-stranded DNA throughout most of their length.

A readily prepared fractionating column is described that separates several ribon nucleic and deoxyribonucleic acids from each other, including the closely similar nucleic acids of T2 and T4 bacteriophages.

It is concluded that the DNA of bacteriophage φX174 is single-stranded, and light scattering studies indicate that this DNA is highly flexible and that its configuration is strongly dependent upon the ionic strength of the solution.

The process of bacterial infection with φX174 particles has been studied by density-gradient analysis of the contents of the infected cells prior to normal lysis, finding that single-stranded progeny DNA appears in mature progeny virus particles as early as eight minutes after infection.

Studies of the properties of protoplast infection indicate certain general characteristics which distinguish it from the more familiar virus infection of whole bacterial cells.

Intracellular DNA in these bacteria seems to exist in one pool as a “woolen ball” which is centered in the cytoplasm as a more or less dense object that embodies the total amount of DNA most probably as one single threadlike unit.

The results agree best with the assumption that both strands of the replicating form function as templates, contrary to the situation found in the intact cell where only one of the two strands appears to be transcribed into message.
