Curtobacterium aetherium sp. nov., a polyextremophilic plant pathogen isolated from the stratosphere

Names
Curtobacterium aetherium
Abstract
ABSTRACT Although the high-altitude limit for microbial survival in the Earth–atmosphere system has remained a scientific curiosity and topic of study, the ecological significance of long-distance microbial dispersal in the atmosphere has been perceived to have marginal relevance. Here, we report the characterization of novel plant pathogenic species of Curtobacterium that were isolated from samples collected at altit

Confirmation of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ in Asian Citrus Psyllids and Detection of Asian Citrus Psyllids in Commercial Citrus in Georgia (U.S.A.)

Citation

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) is the vector of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), the causal agent of citrus greening or Huanglongbing (HLB), one of the most devastating citrus diseases worldwide. The citrus industry in Georgia (U.S.A.) is in the process of a rapid expansion, and based on experiences with HLB in Florida, there is great concern about the potential impacts of HLB on this emerging industry. Prior to 2023, ACP had been identified in residential citrus trees in isolated Ge

Identification of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ phytoplasma-associated diseases in eggplants exhibiting abnormal flower structure (phyllody and virescence) and witches’ broom symptoms in Şanlıurfa province

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma solani
Abstract
Phytoplasmas cause infections in numerous plants in agricultural ecosystems, causing significant yield and quality losses in products. In recent years, it has been known that diseases caused by phytoplasmas cause economic losses in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivation. In Turkey, research on infections caused by phytoplasmas in eggplant growing areas is quite limited. This study was carried out to detect phytoplasma infections symptomatologically and molecularly in eggplant production are

Taxonomic revision of the family Aurantimonadaceae: proposal of Dennerimonas gen. nov., Mesocryomonas gen. nov., Rathsackimonas gen. nov. and Plantimonas gen. nov., along with the reclassification of Jeongeupella Jiang et al. 2024 as a later heterotypic synonym of Antarcticirhabdus Du et al. 2023

Names
Dennerimonas Rathsackimonas Plantimonas Mesocryomonas
Abstract
Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Aureimonas, utilizing both 16S rRNA gene sequences and comprehensive whole-genome data, revealed its polyphyletic nature, necessitating a revision to accommodate phylogenetically distinct species. Based on established threshold values for genus demarcation – specifically, 16S rRNA gene similarity, Average Amino Acid Identity and Percentage of Conserved Proteins – a notably substantial divergence was observed within the genus Aureimonas, and the division of Aure

Discovery of a phylogenetically novel tropical marine Gammaproteobacteria elucidated from assembled genomes and the proposed transfer of the genus Umboniibacter from the family Cellvibrionaceae to Umboniibacteraceae fam. nov

Abstract
Marine heterotrophic bacteria in coastal waters respond to the influx of carbon from natural and anthropogenic sources. We identified two nearly identical, (99.9% average nucleotide identity; 100% amino acid identity; same DNA G + C content of 52.3 mol%) high-quality (≥99% CheckM completeness and ≤ 1.3% contamination) draft metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs; SJ0813 and SJ0972) from seawater microbiomes of a southern island of Singapore that is in a protected marine park. The MAGs were only assi
