Abstract
Spiroplasma citri is a bacterium species and the causative agent of Citrus stubborn disease.Spiroplasma citri gen. and sp. n.: A Mycoplasma-Like Organism Associated with “Stubborn” Disease of Citrus. P. Saglio, M. Lhospital, D. Laflèche, G. Dupont, J. M. Bové, J. G. Tully and E. A. Freundt, IJSEM, July 1973, volume 23, number 3, pages 191-204, Its genome has been partially sequenced.Partial Chromosome Sequence of Spiroplasma citri Reveals Extensive Viral Invasion and Important Gene Decay.

Environ. Microbiol., June 2010, volume 76, number 11, pages 3420-3426, 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).Spiroplasmas are the causal agents of citrus little-leaf disease. P. G. Markham, R.
