| Abstract: | Seven spiroplasmas recovered from insects and flower surfaces in widely separated geographical areas were analyzed serologically
by metabolism inhibition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent, and growth inhibition tests. Although the seven organisms were serologically
interrelated, they were not identical. The seven spiroplasmas in this cluster did not show serological cross-reactions to
other established serogroups of spiroplasmas, including theSpiroplasma citri complex. Results of the serological analyses correlate well with genome size differences recently documented for this group
of spiroplasmas and support a recently proposed classificatin scheme. |
