Typing of hemotropic Mycoplasma in Egyptian cats: first detection and phylogenetic analysis of Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis

Citation

Names
Ca. Mycoplasma turicensis Ca. Mycoplasma haemominutum
Abstract
Abstract Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum (CMhm), and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (CMt) are the major feline hemotropic Mycoplasma (FHM) species identified in cats worldwide. Data concerning FHM in Egypt is limited; therefore, the current study aimed to gain further insights into disease epidemiology by investigating FHM molecular prevalence, risk factors, and hemogram abnormalities in 246 Egyptian cats (shelter-housed and client-owned)

Draft Genome of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri' and Phylogenetic Diversity Among Chilean and Italian Strains

Citation

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma pyri Ca. Phytoplasma
Abstract
'Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri', the pathogen associated with pear decline, affects pear trees across both the old and new worlds. However, research on this phytoplasma has been limited by the lack of genomic data. This study presents the first draft genome of 'Ca. P. pyri' using a strain from Chile, with its genomic features analyzed in comparison to the closely related 'Ca. Phytoplasma' species, 'Ca. P. mali' and 'Ca. P. prunorum'. The draft genome spans 456,478 bp with a GC content of 20.4%. K

The complete genome sequence of the crayfish pathogen Candidatus Paracoxiella cheracis n.g. n.sp. provides insight into pathogenesis and the phylogeny of the Coxiellaceae family

“Paracoxiella cheracis” Ca. Coxiella cheraxi
Abstract
ABSTRACT The Coxiellaceae bacterial family, within the order Legionellales, is defined by a collection of poorly characterized obligate intracellular bacteria. The zoonotic pathogen and causative agent of human Q fever, Coxiella burnetii , represents the best-characterized member of this family. Coxiellaceae establish replicative niches within diverse host cells and rely on their host for survival, making them challen

Sequencing and comparative analyses of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ genomes reveal diversity of effectors and potential mobile units

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma solani Ca. Phytoplasma
Abstract
Phytoplasmas (genus ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’) encompass a group of uncultivated bacteria affecting numerous plant species and causing significant damage in agriculture worldwide. They have a dual parasitic cycle, including colonization of both plant phloem and insect cells. Their genomes are small, diverse, repetitive, prone to rearrangements and harbour transposon-like elements known as potential mobile units (PMUs). In the Euro-Mediterranean region, ‘Ca. P. solani’ is an important species due

Expression and molecular characterization of an intriguing hyaluronan synthase (HAS) from the symbiont “Candidatus Mycoplasma liparidae” in snailfish

Citation
Guo et al. (2025). PeerJ 13
Names
Ca. Mycoplasma liparidae
Abstract
Background Hyaluronan synthases (HASs) are ubiquitous in living organisms, and the hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesized by them are important to their body and well used in medicine, cosmetics and other fields. HAS from deep-sea creatures has not yet been explored before. The study aims to analyse the characteristics and enzyme kinetics of a novel hyaluronan synthase derived from the symbiont “Candidatus Mycoplasma liparidae” found in deep-sea snailfish (snHAS).

First Report of a Psyllid Vector of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni’ (Strain 16SrIII-J)

Citation

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma pruni
Abstract
In Graneros, O’Higgins Region, Chile, the mallow psyllid (Russelliana solanicola Tuthill, 1959) from Malva nicaeensis L. was identified as a potential vector of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni’. Over an 8-month period, 2089 specimens of a species of Psylloidea, including immatures and adults, were captured. We only selected the adults used for transmission trials in Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don (periwinkle) plants. By nested PCR, using primer pairs for phytoplasma detection in 16S rRNA and IdpA

Ammonicoccus fulvus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Propionibacteriaceae, isolated from pig manure

Names

Abstract
A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile coccoid bacterium, designated strain ZF39T, was isolated from a farm in Quandian Village, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, China, and subjected to taxonomic characterization. Optimal growth occurred at 32 ℃, pH 7.0 and 0–1% NaCl (w/v). Mannose and glucose were identified as the sugar components in the whole-cell hydrolysates. The strain’s peptidoglycan type was classified as A3γ (ll-Dpm-Gly), and MK-9(H4) was identified as the predominant respiratory quinone.
