Abstract
WHILE performing experiments on infected tobacco plant fibre to determine the virus-releasing enzymic activity of crude mushroom extracts (Townsley, P. M., unpublished results), it was noted that added chitin strongly adsorbed tobacco mosaic virus. At least a portion of the adsorbed virus could be released with concentrated phosphate buffers. This investigation describes the Chromatographic properties of chitin for TMV.
