The Use of Spiroplasma melliferum as a Model Organism to Study Potential Antimicrobials Against Phytoplasma
摘要
Spiroplasma melliferum is a cultivable mollicute that can be used as a proxy model organism to test the inhibitory effects of filtrates, compounds, or substances against phytoplasma. In this protocol, we describe the use of the resazurin-based alamarBlue™ dye for the monitoring of Spiroplasma survival and growth in the presence of presumably inhibitory agents.
