‘Candidatus Phytoplasma convolvuli’, a new phytoplasma taxon associated with bindweed yellows in four European countries

Citation
Martini et al. (2012). International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 62 (Pt_12)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma convolvuli
Abstract
Plants of Convolvulus arvensis exhibiting symptoms of undersized leaves, shoot proliferation and yellowing, collectively defined as bindweed yellows, were sampled in different regions of Europe and assessed for phytoplasma infection by PCR amplification using phytoplasma universal rRNA operon primer pairs. Positive results were obtained for all diseased plants. RFLP analysis of amplicons comprising the16S rRNA gene alone or the16S rRNA gene and 16-23S intergenic spacer region indicated that the

Genome Sequences of the Primary Endosymbiont “Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum” in the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci B and Q Biotypes

Citation
Jiang et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (23)
Names
Ca. Portiera aleyrodidarum
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum” is the obligate primary endosymbiotic bacterium of whiteflies, including the sweet potato whitefly Bemisia tabaci , and provides essential nutrients to its host. Here we report two complete genome sequences of this bacterium from the B and Q biotypes of B. tabaci .

Complete Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum” BT-QVLC, an Obligate Symbiont That Supplies Amino Acids and Carotenoids to Bemisia tabaci

Citation
Santos-Garcia et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (23)
Names
Ca. Portiera aleyrodidarum
Abstract
ABSTRACT The genome of “ Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum,” the primary endosymbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Mediterranean species), is reported. It presents a reduced genome (357 kb) encoding the capability to synthetize, or participate in the synthesis of, several amino acids and carotenoids, being the first insect endosymbiont capable of supplying carotenoids.

Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Microthrix parvicella” Bio17-1, a Long-Chain-Fatty-Acid-Accumulating Filamentous Actinobacterium from a Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant

Citation
Muller et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (23)
Names
“Neomicrothrix parvicella”
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Microthrix” bacteria are deeply branching filamentous actinobacteria which occur at the water-air interface of biological wastewater treatment plants, where they are often responsible for foaming and bulking. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of a strain from this genus: “ Candidatus Microthrix parvicella” strain Bio17-1.

Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae” Strain Purdue, a Red Blood Cell Pathogen of Alpacas ( Vicugna pacos ) and Llamas ( Lama glama )

Citation
Guimaraes et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (22)
Names
Ca. Mycoplasma haemolamae
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report the complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae,” an endemic red-cell pathogen of camelids. The single, circular chromosome has 756,845 bp, a 39.3% G+C content, and 925 coding sequences (CDSs). A great proportion (49.1%) of these CDSs are organized into paralogous gene families, which can now be further explored with regard to antigenic variation.
