Fig. 4: L-A virus communities in native cell extracts and in yeast cells.

a Proposed viral communities are shown in a crop of a micrograph. Molecules are colored, such as RNA in dark blue, ribosomes in dark green, ice contamination in light blue and L-A virus in purple. The space around the group of viruses and surrounding proteins is colored yellow. b Cryo substituted, in resin embedded Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cut into sections of 30 nm in width and imaged on the EM 900. Shown is a crop through yeast on the left and an impression on the right. Color coding stays the same as in (a). The measured particle diameter (c), as well as the distances between L-A viruses (d), are represented by box plots with the standard deviation shown in the whiskers. All scale bars represent 50 nm. c, d The box minima represent the 25th percentile, the box maxima the 75th percentile, the Notch indicated the data’s median, whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum value inside of a 1.5 interquartile range. Outliers are indicated by scatters and sample size is indicated. The n values indicate the number of individual measured particles (c) and number of unique particle pair distances (d).
