Spiroplasmasp. strain SMAT, isolated in Poland from white satin moth larvae,Leucoma salicisL. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), was serologically distinct from otherSpiroplasmaspecies, groups or subgroups. Dark-field microscopy of the cells revealed the classical helical shape and subsequent transmission electron microscopy revealed cells surrounded by only a single cell membrane (lacking a cell wall). Growth of strain SMAToccurred in M1D medium at 30 °C. Strain SMATcatabolized both glucose and arginine, but did not hydrolyse urea. The G+C content of the DNA was 24±1 mol% as determined by melting temperature analysis. Serological analysis revealed a very weak cross-reactivity (positive reaction only up to a 1 : 80 dilution) with twoSpiroplasmastrains, 277F (Spiroplasmasp. group I-4) and LB-12 (Spiroplasmasp. group I-5). Strain SMAT(=ATCC BAA-521T=NBRC 100392T) is designated the type strain of a novel species,Spiroplasma leucomaesp. nov. (classMollicutes: orderEntomoplasmatales: familySpiroplasmataceae).
