The complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” RP166, which consists of one 829,546-bp circular chromosome, is presented in this work. This bacterium is associated with rapeseed phyllody disease in Poland and belongs to the 16SrI-B (i.e., aster yellows) group.

ABSTRACT “Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” is a symbiont of sap-feeding insects in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. The strain “ Ca . Sulcia muelleri” ML is associated with the maize leafhopper ( Dalbulus maidis ), collected in Brazil, which is a disease vector that affects corn production. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium.
