Assembly site of cyanophage LPP-2-SPI in Plectonema boryanum.
Electron microscope studies of infection by the temperature cyanophage SPI show two possible assembly sites within the host Plectonema boryanum: the nucleoplasm and a phage-created space, the "virogenic stroma". Induced prophages appear to develop preferentially in the nucleoplasm.
