Abstract
Abstract  The Gemmatimonadota phylum has been widely detected in diverse natural environments, yet their specific ecological roles in many habitats remain poorly investigated. Similarly, the Candidatus ARS69 phylum has been identified only in a few habitats, and literature on their metabolic functions is relatively scarce. In the present study, we investigated the ecological significance of phyla Ca. ARS69 and Gemmatimonadota in the Arctic glacier foreland (GF) e

Unique episymbiotic relationship between Candidatus Patescibacteria and Zoogloea in activated sludge flocs at a municipal wastewater treatment plant

Names
Ca. Patescibacteria
Abstract
AbstractCandidatus Patescibacteria, also known as candidate phyla radiation (CPR), including the class‐level uncultured clade JAEDAM01 (formerly a subclass of Gracilibacteria/GN02/BD1‐5), are ubiquitous in activated sludge. However, their characteristics and relationships with other organisms are largely unknown. They are believed to be episymbiotic, endosymbiotic or predatory. Despite our understanding of their limited metabolic capacity, their precise roles remain elusive due to the difficulty

A Transmission Assay of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Using Citrus Phloem Sap and Topical Feeding to Its Insect Vector, Diaphorina citri

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, the putative causal agent of citrus greening disease, is transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, in a propagative, circulative, and persistent manner. Unfortunately, ‘ Ca. L. asiaticus’ is not yet available in pure culture to carry out Koch's postulates and to confirm its etiology. When a pure culture is available, an assay to test its infectivity in both the insect vector and the plant host will be crucial. Herein, we described a transmi

SDE19, a SEC-dependent effector from ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ suppresses plant immunity and targets Citrus sinensis Sec12 to interfere with vesicle trafficking

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Citrus huanglongbing (HLB), which is caused by the phloem-colonizing bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), poses a significant threat to citrus production worldwide. The pathogenicity mechanism of HLB remains poorly understood. SEC-dependent effectors (SDEs) have been suggested to play critical roles in the interaction between citrus and CLas. Here, we explored the function of CLIBASIA_05320 (SDE19), a core SDE from CLas, and its interaction with its host target. Our data revealed t

A Draft Genome Resource for ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’, the Agent Associated with European Stone Fruit Yellows Disease

Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum Ca. Phytoplasma mali
Abstract
‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’ is associated with European stone fruit yellows disease, affecting wild and cultivated species of Prunus at different degrees of susceptibility, so far being mainly restricted to Europe. Here, we report draft genome sequences for ‘Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum’ strains ESFY1 and LNS1, which represent the first available for this species. Strain ESFY1 is the causal agent of the European stone fruit yellows disease of Prunus persica in Germany and LNS1, leptonecrosis
