Abstract
L2 is a temperate mycoplasma virus containing 11.8 kilobase pairs of negatively superhelical double-stranded DNA. We observed L2 DNA with less superhelicity in novobiocin-treated cells than that in untreated cells. However, although no change in viral DNA superhelicity could be found in novobiocin-treated novobiocin-resistant cells, L2 production decreased in these novobiocin-treated cells.
