Complete Genome Sequence of Spiroplasma citri Strain R8-A2 T , Causal Agent of Stubborn Disease in Citrus Species

ABSTRACT Spiroplasma citri causes stubborn disease in Citrus spp. and diseases in other plants. Here, we report the nucleotide sequence of the 1,599,709-bp circular chromosome and two plasmids of S. citri strain R8-A2 T . This information will facilitate analyses to understand spiroplasmal pathogenicity and evolutionary adaptations to lifestyles in plants and arthropod hosts.
