‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’, associated with plants in the family Solanaceae Liefting, Lia W. and Weir, Bevan S. and Pennycook, Shaun R. and Clover, Gerard R. G.,, 59, 2274-2276 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.007377-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A liberibacter (isolate NZ082226) was detected in a symptomatic tomato plant and subsequently in five other members of the family Solanaceae: capsicum, potato, tamarillo, cape gooseberry and chilli. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the deduced amino acid sequence of the rplJ gene and a partial nucleotide sequence of the β operon indicated that isolate NZ082226 represents a novel candidate species of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’, for which the name ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ is proposed., language=, type=
