Ss. Zinjarde et al., DOUBLE-STRANDED-RNA FROM A MARINE ALKANE-DEGRADING YEAST YARROWIA-LIPOLYTICA, World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 14(2), 1998, pp. 299-300
A strain of Yarrowia lipolytica isolated from a tropical estuarine env
ironment showed the presence of a double-stranded RNA. The double-stra
nded RNA had a molecular size of 5 kb and a G + C content of 61 mole%.
The strain was not a killer. No specific physiological function could
be assigned to this plasmid.
