Spiroplasma citri

Spiroplasma citri is a bacterium species and the causative agent of Citrus stubborn disease.[1]

Its genome has been partially sequenced.[2]

The restriction enzyme SciNI, with the cutting site 5' GCGC / 3' CGCG, can be found in S. citri.

Euscelis incisa can be used as a vector of the bacterium to experimentally infect white clover (Trifolium repens).[3]

S. citri is a partially sequenced, Gram-positive plant pathogenic mollicute which has a wide host range. [4]
