Multiple Origins and Specific Evolution of CRISPR/Cas9 Systems in Minimal Bacteria (Mollicutes)
CRISPR/Cas systems provide adaptive defense mechanisms against invading nucleic acids in prokaryotes. Because of its interest as a genetic tool, the Type II CRISPR/Cas9 system from Streptococcus pyogenes has been extensively studied. It includes the Cas9

Spiroplasma species as a rare cause of congenital cataract and uveitis: a case series
Background To date, only four cases of ocular spiroplasma infection have been reported in the entire ophthalmic literature. We add two more cases to raise awareness of this sight-threatening congenital disease that manifests as cataract with ocular ...

Antigenic relatedness between the spiralins of Spiroplasma citri and Spiroplasma melliferum [PDF]
Four spiralins were compared by rocket immunoelectrophoresis, quantitative immunoblotting techniques, and the spiroplasma deformation test with the use of antispiralin (polyclonal) monospecific antibodies. This investigation revealed that the spiralins of Spiroplasma citri and S.

Differences in microbiota between two multilocus lineages of the sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) in the continental United States [PDF]
The sugarcane aphid (SCA), Melanaphis Sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), has been considered an invasive pest of sugarcane in the continental United States since 1977. Then, in 2013, SCA abruptly became a serious pest of U.S.

The genome and antigen proteome analysis of Spiroplasma mirum
Spiroplasma mirum, small motile wall-less bacteria, was originally isolated from a rabbit tick and had the ability to infect newborn mice and caused cataracts. In this study, the whole genome and antigen proteins of S. mirum were comparative analyzed and
