摘要：
A total of 35 isolates of Acholeplasma spp. were recovered from phloem sap and rotting tissues of lethal yellowing-diseased coconut palms. The highest isolation rate, 33% of samples from two palms, was obtained in a conventional mycoplasma medium supplemented with Tween 80; no isolates were recovered from healthy palm tissues or from uninoculated media constituents. Metabolic and serological tests on uncloned isolates showed that about two-thirds were strains of A. axanthum and the remainder were related to A. oculi. These results strongly suggest that acholeplasmas occur in or on plant tissues either as pathogens, epiphytes, or saprophytes. © 1979 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
