Abstract
Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni” strain ChTDIII (subgroup 16SrIII-B). The final assembly consists of 790,517 nucleotides organized in 67 contigs (minimal size, 1 kb), with a G+C content of 29.4% and encoding 672 proteins.

Widespread occurrence of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi’ in elm species in Germany

Citation
Schneider et al. (2020). BMC Microbiology 20 (1)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma ulmi
Abstract
Abstract Background ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi’ is the agent associated with elm yellows and has been categorised in the European Union as a quarantine pathogen. For central and northern European countries, information on the occurrence and distribution of the pathogen and its impact on elms is scarce, so a survey of native elm trees has been conducted in Germany. Results About 6500 samples from Ulmus minor, Ulmus l

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma ulmi
Abstract
Abstract Background: Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi is the causative agent of elm yellows and has been categorised in the European Union as a quarantine pathogen in the past. For central and northern European countries, information on the occurrence and distribution of the pathogen and its impact on elms is scarce, so a survey of native elm trees has been conducted in Germany. Results: About 6,500 samples in total, from Ulmus minor , Ulmus laevis and Ulmus glabra , were collected nationwide

Complete Genome Sequences of the Obligate Symbionts “ Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” and “ Ca Nasuia deltocephalinicola” from the Pestiferous Leafhopper Macrosteles quadripunctulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

Citation
Bennett et al. (2016). Genome Announcements 4 (1)
Names
Ca. Sulcia muelleri
Abstract
ABSTRACT Two bacterial symbionts of the European pest leafhopper, Macrosteles quadripunctulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), were fully sequenced. “ Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” and “ Ca . Nasuia deltocephalinicola” represent two of the smallest known bacterial genomes at 190 kb and 112 kb, respectively. Genome sequences are nearly identical to strains reported from the closely related host species,

Differentiation of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma cynodontis’ Based on 16S rRNA and groEL Genes and Identification of a New Subgroup, 16SrXIV-C

Citation
Mitrović et al. (2015). Plant Disease 99 (11)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma cynodontis
Abstract
‘Candidatus Phytoplasma cynodontis’ is widespread in bermudagrass and has only been found in monocotyledonous plants. Molecular studies carried out on strains collected in Italy, Serbia, and Albania enabled verification of molecular variability in the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequence analyses, the strains from Serbia were clearly differentiated from all others and assigned to a new ribosomal DNA (rDNA) subgroup designated as 16SrXIV-C
