Single-stranded circular DNA of phage fd was microinjected into Xenopus laevis eggs and DNA synthesis was analyzed after incubation. An efficient DNA synthesis occurred in the eggs: 2.7 ng of DNA was newly formed in an egg whose volume is approximately 900 n1 during a 5-h incubation at 20° C. The DN...
