Abstract Phlo.mo.bac.ter. Gr. n. phlomos bark; Gr. n. bakterion a small rod; M.L. neut. Phlomobacter rod in the bark. Filamentous bacteria occurring in the sieve tubes of phloem tissue of plants (Figures 1 and 2). The original description is from infected strawberry plants ( Fragaria × ananassa ) showing leaf marginal chlorosis and stunting in France (Nourrisseau et al., 1993). Like most other phloem‐restricted bacteria, Candidatus Phlomobacter fragariae has resisted in vitro cultivation. The mol % G + C of the DNA is : not determined. Type species : Candidatus Phlomobacter fragariae Zreik, Bové and Garnier 1998, 260.

Abstract Xi.phi.ne.ma.to.bac'ter. Gr. neut. n. Xiphinema, ‐atos the genus name of the host organism; N.L. masc. n. bacter the equivalent of Gr. neut. n. baktron a rod; N.L. masc. n. Xiphinematobacter the rod‐shaped microbe associated with Xiphinema . Full‐grown cells are rod‐shaped with rounded ends, 0.7–1.0 × 2.1–3.2 μm ; however, cells in the J 1 (first juvenile) stage of nematode development have a wrinkled, pleomorphic shape. The longer entities usually consist of a mother cell from which a daughter cell is budding, giving rise to serial pairs typical of this bacterial genus. In thin sections cells have two or three membranes consisting of, from inside to outside, a cytoplasmic membrane, an electron‐dense outer membrane, and, in many individuals, a vacuolar membrane which is probably derived from the host cell membrane and which often shows discontinuities. No peptidoglycan layer is evident ; however, a periplasmic hexagonally arrayed monolayer of 10 nm protein units is sometimes present. Gram‐stain‐negative, nonmotile, and nonsporulating. DNA is often condensed at cell poles . Bacteria live as obligate cytoplasmic symbionts with maternal transmission in nematodes of the Xiphinema americanum group ( Nematoda, Longidoridae ), in which they are presumed to induce thelytokous ( mother‐to‐daughter ) parthenogenesis . DNA G + C content ( mol %): not determined. Type species : “ Candidatus Xiphinematobacter brevicolli ” Vandekerckhove, Willems, Gillis and Coomans 2000, 2203.
