MONOSACCHARIDE COMPOSITION OF RHABDOVIRUSES INFECTING ANIMALS AND PLANTS
Abstract
Comparative studies of plant and animal rhabdoviruses are of great importance because of their similar structural organization, morpholoical characters and functional properties of their components. Rhabdoviruses differ from plus-genome viruses, because in addition to their minus-RNA chain and multifunctional proteins, they contain also fatty acids and carbohydrates.
