In addition, renaturation kinetics studies suggest a genetic complexity corresponding to a mol. wt. of 82 × 106. A G + C content of 42% for the virus DNA is estimated from its thermal denaturation profile and buoyant density in CsCl., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-42-3-633
