Liquid crystalline DNA in fowl adenovirus.
Fowl adenovirus particles were studied using negative stain electron microscopy. Upon preparation, some particles collapsed and showed their internal structure. The DNA could be observed as thin parallel lines with a spacing of 25 A, very similar to images of the liquid crystalline DNA in bacteriophage heads and in herpes virus.
