Type Species |
(L51) |
Virions are resistant to non-ionic detergents (Nonidet P-40 and Triton X-100) and slightly sensitive to ether. Genome of Spiroplasma phage 1 (SpV-1) is 23% G+C. No data on carbohydrates have been reported. Adsorption is to cell membrane of wall-less mycoplasma host cells. Host range of the Acholeplasma phage MV-L51 (L51) is some Acholeplasma laidlawii strains, and of SpV-1 is some Spiroplasma citri strains.
