Canadian Medical Guide Definition Acholeplasma - A genus of gram-negative organisms including saprophytic and parasitic or pathogenic species.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phytoplasma - A genus of minute bacteria in the family ACHOLEPLASMATACEAE that inhabit phloem sieve elements of infected PLANTS and cause symptoms such as yellowing, phyllody, and witches' brooms. Organisms lack a CELL WALL and thus are similar to MYCOPLASMA in animals. They are transmitted by over 100 species of INSECTS especially leafhoppers, planthoppers, and PSYLLIDS.
