Penicillium stoloniferum Virus: Large-Scale Concentration and Purification by Polyethylene Glycol

PMCID: PMC186811  PMID: 4607719

Abstract

An experimental procedure developed to concentrate fungal viruses from large volumes of homogenized mycelia with water-soluble polymers, such as polyethylene glycol, possesses advantages over more conventional methods. Concentration of the Penicillium stoloniferum fast-moving virus from mycelial homogenates after addition of polyethylene glycol was rapid and produced large quantities of pure virus.
