Relative abundance of dsRNA elements in X. dendrorhous along the growth curve. Growth curves of strains UCD 67-385 (continuous line) and CRUB 1149 (dashed line) were performed in YM medium at 22°C, and total RNA was extracted from culture samples collected at each point. The ratios of dsRNA elements L2/L1 and S1/L1 of UCD 67-385, and M/L1 of CRUB 1149, were calculated from the bands intensities of each dsRNA elements separated in agarose gels. The experiments were performed at least tree times and a representative curve for each strains is shown.
