Impact on total RNA extraction efficiency of three pre-treatments. Concentrated bacterial cells expressing two dsRNA constructs (dsGFP or dsDcr2) were freeze-thawed ten times and then subjected to cell-disruption treatments. The total RNA was then extracted through a phenol/guanidine-based method and the concentration measured through a spectrophotometer. Four replicates were tested for each condition (32 samples in total). Symbols indicate the mean, error bars the standard deviation. All pre-treatments significantly (p < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test) increased the extraction yields compared to the control method and differed between each other.
