RNA a doppio filamento presenti in due ceppi fungini differenziabili per la proprietà di produrre spore

Abstract

Double strand RNA's present in two fungal strains different in their ability to produce spores.—We have characterized a particular ds RNA system in two fungal strains obtained from a Penicillium citrinum Thom isolate recovered from soil and affected by a double mycoviral infection. These two strains differed morphologically and in the ability to produce spores. We have compared our results with those typical of more extensively studied systems: Penicillium chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
