Lipid utilization of two flower spiroplasmas and honeybee spiroplasma

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1985
A chemically defined medium (CC-494) was used to study the lipid utilization of two flower spiroplasmas (Spiroplasma florkola and SR-3) and honeybee spiroplasma (AS-576). All three spiroplasmas reached comparable growth yields when lauric acid, myristic acid, or stearic acid replaced palmitic acid; palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, or linolenic acid ...

Spiroplasmas: evolution, adaptation and diversity

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2002
Since its designation as a separate genus some 30 years ago, Spiroplasmas have been well documented in a wide range of hosts and as the causative agent of several plant and insect diseases. One major area of research is the continued identification and taxonomical characterization of new Spiroplasma sp.

Swimming Motility Assays of Spiroplasma

2023
Spiroplasma swim in liquids without the use of the bacterial flagella. This small helical bacterium propels itself by generating kinks that travel down the cell body. The kink translation is unidirectional, from the leading pole to the lagging pole, during cell swimming in viscous environments.

Spiroplasmas: evolutionary relationships and biodiversity

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2006
Spiroplasmas are wall-less descendants of Gram-positive bacteria that maintain some of the smallest genomes known for self-replicating organisms. These helical, motile prokaryotes exploit numerous habitats, but are most often found in association with insects.

Taxonomy and Identification of Spiroplasmas

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1982
Within the past decade a new genus and family of helical, wall-less prokaryotes have been recognized. To date, eight groups have been described, four of which represent species or putative species. Methods for rapid identification or confirmation of these serovars have been devised.

Development of Monoclonal Antibodies to Spiroplasmas Utilizing a Mixture of Spiroplasma Citri and Corn Stunt Spiroplasmas

1987
Spleen cells from mice immunized with a mixture of S. citri (M200H) and three strains of corn stunt spiroplasma (F32, PU8–17, I747) were fused with NSI myelomas for the production of monoclonal antibody-secreting hybridomas. Hybridoma supernatants were initially screened against the mixture of spiroplasmas in heterologous double-antibody sandwich ...

Viruses of Mycoplasmas and Spiroplasmas

1977
Publisher Summary The term mycoplasma refers to a group of microorganisms (Class Mollicutes, Order Mycoplasmatales), previously known as pleuropneumonia-like organisms or PPLO. The many different isolates have been cataloged into the genera mycoplasma, acholeplasma, ureaplasma or T-strains, spiroplasma, thermoplasmn, and anaeroplasma. Mycoplasmas are

Characterization of Spiroplasmas by Serology

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1982
Five major serologic groups of spiroplasmas have been distinguished on the basis of serology (as determined in a test of deformation and metabolism inhibition), guanine-plus-cytosine content of DNA, and DNA-DNA hybridization. group I includes strains of Spiroplasma citri that form a classical subgroup (serovar) complex of four serologically homogeneous
