Two plant bacteria, S. meliloti and Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus, share functional znuABC homologues that encode for a high affinity zinc uptake system. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Znu system, encoded for by znuABC, can be found in multiple genera of bacteria and has been shown to be responsible for the import of zinc under low zinc conditions.

Infection Patterns of a Liberibacter Associated with Macrohomotoma gladiata, a Psyllid Feeding on Ficus microcarpa

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Almost all known Liberibacters can be transmitted by psyllids. This suggests that there is a coevolutionary relationship between these two groups of organisms. However, detailed investigation of Liberibacters and psyllids have often focused on only a few

Decreasing detection frequency of MITE (MCLas-A) in the population of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ recently collected in southern China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
An active miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE), MCLas-A, was previously identified from ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ known to be associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease). To explore the recent transposition

Screening nested-PCR primer for 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' associated with citrus Huanglongbing and application in Hunan, China.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the most devastating citrus diseases worldwide. Sensitive and accurate assays are vital for efficient prevention of the spread of HLB-associated "Candidatus Liberibacter spp". "Candidatus Liberibacter spp" that infect

The Complete Genome Sequence of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter americanus’, Associated with Citrus Huanglongbing

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2014
Liberibacter spp. form a Rhizobiaceae clade of phloem-limited pathogens of limited host range. Two obligately parasitic species have been sequenced: ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, which causes citrus huanglongbing (HLB) worldwide, and ‘Ca.
