Histopathological, biological and molecular characteristics of the pathogenic Spiroplasma penaei isolated from the hemolymph of infected Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei

Biological and molecular characteristics of the pathogenic mollicute, Spiroplasma penaei, isolated from the hemolymph of infected Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, were investigated. The doubling times of a S. penaei were 6.13 h (2% NaCl) and 3.43 h (no salt) under aerobic conditions, and 6.63...
