Virus‐like particles containing electron dense cores are seen in thin sections of intact and degenerated cells of a thermosensitive ( ts ) strain of Candida tropicalis. A particulate fraction not present in wild‐type cells has been isolated from the ts cells disrupted by pressure. The particles are 80‐120 nm in diameter. Empty particles with a central cavity are observed. The method of infecting mating pairs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by partially purified particles is described.
