Abstract:
Spiroplasma citri is a bacterium that causes stubborn disease of citrus and infects other crops, ornamentals, and weeds. It is transmitted by leafhoppers in a circulative manner. Due to limited sequence data on S. citri, the bacterium was isolated from naturally infected Chinese cabbage grown on a farm in Fresno County, CA. DNA from S. citri CC-2 was extracted from a pure culture in LD8 and subjected to PacBio sequencing. Four contigs were obtained with a single circular chromosome of 1,709,192 bp and three plasmids of 40,210, 39,313, and 2,921 bp in size. The genome developed herein extends the sequence database of S. citri and is the first whole-genome sequence record of S. citri from California.
