Phloem Metabolites of Prunus Sp. Rather than Infection with Candidatus Phytoplasma Prunorum Influence Feeding Behavior of Cacopsylla pruni Nymphs

Citation
Gallinger, Gross (2020). Journal of Chemical Ecology 46 (8)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum
Abstract
AbstractPhytoplasmas are specialized small bacteria restricted to the phloem tissue and spread by hemipterans feeding on plant sieve tube elements. As for many other plant pathogens, it is known that phytoplasmas alter the chemistry of their hosts. Most research on phytoplasma-plant interactions focused on the induction of plant volatiles and phytohormones. Little is known about the influence of phytoplasma infections on the nutritional composition of phloem and consequences on vector behavior a

Medium-Chain Fatty Acid Synthesis by “ Candidatus Weimeria bifida” gen. nov., sp. nov., and “ Candidatus Pseudoramibacter fermentans” sp. nov

Abstract
Chain elongation by medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA)-producing microbiomes offers an opportunity to produce valuable chemicals from organic streams that would otherwise be considered waste. However, the physiology and energetics of chain elongation are only beginning to be studied, and many of these organisms remain uncultured. We analyzed MCFA production by two uncultured organisms that were identified as the main MCFA producers in a microbial community enriched from an anaerobic digester; this c

New intranuclear symbiotic bacteria from macronucleus of Paramecium putrinum — Candidatus Gortzia yakutica

Citation
Beliavskaia et al. (2020).
Names
Ca. Gortzia yakutica
Abstract
AbstractHolospora-like bacteria are obligate intracellular Alphaproteobacteria, inhabiting nuclei of Paramecium ciliates and other protists. Alphaproteobacteria have drawn significant attention, as both closest existing relatives of bacteria that gave rise to mitochondria, as well as a class of intracellular bacteria with numerous important pathogens.HLB clade includes two genera – Holospora (Hafkine 1980) and candidatus Gortzia (Boscaro 2013). These bacteria have a peculiar life cycle with two

Correction to: Detection of Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Norway up to the northern limit of Ixodes ricinus distribution using a novel real time PCR test targeting the groEL gene

Citation
Jenkins et al. (2020). BMC Microbiology 20 (1)
Names
Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis
Abstract
After publication of our article [1] it came to our notice that the source of the sequence for the control plasmid, pNeo (Materials and methods: Controls) was incorrectly stated as AB094461. The correct accession number is AB074461. The authors apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Widespread occurrence of Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi infecting elm species in Germany

Citation
Schneider et al. (2020).
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

Huanglongbing, Caused by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus,’ Detected in New Locations Across Southern and Coastal Georgia

Citation

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease is the most devastating disease of citrus worldwide. This disease, caused by the bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), leads to low fruit quality and unproductive trees. In 2008, HLB was found in a residential citrus tree in Savannah, Georgia, and, as a result, the state has been quarantined for this disease since 2009. Nonetheless, little is known about the distribution of CLas within Georgia, even though the commercial planting of
