‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (so.la.na.ce.a′rum. N.L. fem. pl. n. Solanaceae a botanical family; N.L. gen. pl. n. solanacearum of the Solanaceae, referring to the family of plant hosts, capsicum, tomato, potato, tamarillo, cape gooseberry and chilli, from which the bacterium has been isolated). Reference isolate is NZ082226, isolated from a tomato plant in South Auckland, New Zealand. DNA and freeze-dried plant material from this isolate are available from the authors. [(Alphaproteobacteria) NC; G−; R; NAS (GenBank accession numbers EU834130 for the 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer and EU834131 for the β operon), oligonucleotide sequence of unique region of 16S rRNA 5′-GCGCTTATTTTTAATAGGAGCGGCA-3′; S (Capsicum annuum, Physalis peruviana, Solanum betaceum, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum tuberosum, phloem; Bactericera cockerelli (Psyllidae), tissue unknown; M].
