Molecular Biology of Spiroplasmas: 1991

  • Chapter
Rapid Diagnosis of Mycoplasmas

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbilogical Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 62))

Abstract

An extensive review of the molecular and cellular biology of spiroplasmas has been published in 1989 (Bové et al., 1989). The purpose of the present chapter is to update the 1989 review.
