Comparison of lipids from Spiroplasma citri and corn stunt spiroplasma [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1978 The qualitative lipid composition of Spiroplasma citri and corn stunt spiroplasma is identical. Small amounts of acylated glucose and steryl glucoside were found.

Antigenic relatedness between the spiralins of Spiroplasma citri and Spiroplasma melliferum [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1990 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.

Kinematics of the Swimming ofSpiroplasma [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2009 \emph{Spiroplasma} swimming is studied with a simple model based on resistive-force theory. Specifically, we consider a bacterium shaped in the form of a helix that propagates traveling-wave distortions which flip the handedness of the helical cell body.

Characterization of the recA gene regions of Spiroplasma citri and Spiroplasma melliferum [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1996 In previous studies (A. Marais, J. M. Bove, and J. Renaudin, J. Bacteriol. 178:862-870, 1996), we have shown that the recA gene of Spiroplasma citri R8A2 was restricted to the first 390 nucleotides of the N-terminal part. PCR amplification and sequencing studies of five additional strains of S.

Spiroplasma species as a rare cause of congenital cataract and uveitis: a case series
BMC Ophthalmology, 2021 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 ...
