Abstract
A mutant of a strain of the SR organisms (SRO, transovarially transmitted male-killing spiroplasmas) of D. melano gaster is described. The mutant, NSRO-A, has lost the male-specific killing activity on host flies, but maintains other properties such as the clump forming spectrum and the extractable titer of the associated virus as original NSRO strain.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
