The dissociation proceeds in steps; it begins with the expansion of particles and leads to the final product of the dissociation — a cluster of several sub-particles of equal size (approx. 100 Å in diam.). A scheme of the dissociation is proposed on the basis of the observed intermediates. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-37-1-127
