Abstract
We report here the complete genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter africanus” strain PTSAPSY. The 1,192,232-bp genome with 34.5% G+C content comprises 1,017 open reading frames, 44 tRNAs, and three complete rRNAs in a circular chromosome.
Highlights
We report here the complete genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter africanus” strain PTSAPSY
The name of each species was based on its presumptive origin; “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” is believed to have originated in Asia, “Ca. Liberibacter americanus” in the Americas, and “Ca. Liberibacter africanus” in Africa [1,2,3,4]
We completed the genome sequence of a “Ca. Liberibacter africanus” strain, PTSAPSY
Summary
We report here the complete genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter africanus” strain PTSAPSY. The disease is associated with three phloem-restricted insecttransmitted, Gram-negative, and fastidious species of alphaproteobacteria in the genus “Candidatus Liberibacter.” The name of each species was based on its presumptive origin; “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” is believed to have originated in Asia, “Ca. Liberibacter americanus” in the Americas, and “Ca. Liberibacter africanus” in Africa [1,2,3,4]. “Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus” is the most widely distributed and transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citris worldwide, while “Ca. Liberibacter africanus” is found only in Africa and the Mascarene Islands and is naturally transmitted by the psyllid Trioza erytreae.
