NMA 12CO(J=1-0) observations of the radio lobe spiral galaxy, NGC 3079, reveal a dense, rigidly rotating ring of molecular gas with a radius of about 750 pc. In addition, a tilted CO component as well as several molecular gas “spurs” are interpreted as linear features which are accelerated outwards by the nuclear outflow.
