Nutritional requirements of two flower spiroplasmas and honeybee spiroplasma [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1983 A chemically defined medium (CC-494) was used to study the nutritional requirements of three spiroplasmas representing three distinct serogroups: flower spiroplasmas [Spiroplasma floricola and FS (SR-3)] and honeybee spiroplasma [HBS (AS-576)]. Glucose, fructose, and mannose were utilized by all three spiroplasmas. In addition, the honeybee spiroplasma

Multiple Origins and Specific Evolution of CRISPR/Cas9 Systems in Minimal Bacteria (Mollicutes)
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 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

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.

The genome and antigen proteome analysis of Spiroplasma mirum
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 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

A Nightmare for Males? A Maternally Transmitted Male-Killing Bacterium and Strong Female Bias in a Green Lacewing Population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 For maternally transmitted microbes, a female-biased host sex ratio is of reproductive advantage. Here we found a strong female bias in a field population of the green lacewing, Mallada desjardinsi (Insecta; Neuroptera).

Elucidation of fibril structure responsible for swimming in Spiroplasma using electron microscopy
, 2021 Spiroplasma, known pathogens of arthropods and plants, are helical-shaped bacteria lacking the peptidoglycan layer. They swim by alternating between left- and right-handed cell helicity, which is driven by an internal structure called the ribbon.

Comparison of the membrane composition of Spiroplasma citri and the corn stunt Spiroplasma [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1979 Components of membranes isolated from Spiroplasma citri and corn stunt spiroplasma grown at 28 degrees C were analyzed. On a protein basis, lipid phosphorus was lower and cholesterol was higher in S. citri. Only minor differences between the two species were found in fatty acid composition, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase, and ...
