Spiroplasma
TaxID: 2132
Basic Information
Spiroplasma
-
Spiroplasma is a genus of Mollicutes, a group of small bacteria without cell walls. Spiroplasma shares the simple metabolism, parasitic lifestyle, fried-egg colony morphology and small genome of other Mollicutes, but has a distinctive helical morphology, unlike Mycoplasma. It has a spiral shape and moves in a corkscrew motion. Many Spiroplasma are found either in the gut or haemolymph of insects where they can act to manipulate host reproduction, or defend the host as endosymbionts. Spiroplasma are also disease-causing agents in the phloem of plants. Spiroplasmas are fastidious organisms, which require a rich culture medium. Typically they grow well at 30 °C, but not at 37 °C. A few species, notably Spiroplasma mirum, grow well at 37 °C (human body temperature), and cause cataracts and neurological damage in suckling mice. The best studied species of spiroplasmas are Spiroplasma poulsonii, a reproductive manipulator and defensive insect symbiont, Spiroplasma citri, the causative agent of citrus stubborn disease, and Spiroplasma kunkelii, the causative agent of corn stunt disease.

PRJNA1235259 SRX30081124 SRP580265 general sGff_culture_biol_rep3 sGff-IAEA-CC (~106 cells) at passage 12 were pelleted at 12,000g for 15 mins at 4C and resuspended in RNAlater. Total RNA was extracted from the PBS washed samples using the Total RNA Miniprep kit following standard protocols. Ribodepleted RNA-seq libraries were prepared by the Yale Center for Genomic Analysis and sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 platform. Raw reads were quality filtered (Phred score >20 and read length >50 bp) and adapter-trimmed using fastp v0.24.0. culture {'host': 'Glossina fuscipes fuscipes', 'strain': 'sGff', 'isolate': 'culture', 'samp_size': '~1,000,000 cells', 'treatment': 'culture', 'sample_type': 'cell culture', 'collected_by': 'Fabian Gstttenmayer', 'geo_loc_name': 'Austria:Vienna IAEA IPCL', 'biosamplemodel': 'Microbe, viral or environmental', 'collection_date': '2024', 'rnaseq_replicate': 'culture_biol_rep3', 'biomaterial_provider': 'Insect Pest Control Laboratory, Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Vienna, Austria'} |
