... and an alkane degrading bacterium, Alkanindiges. These data provide evidence that Asian citrus psyllids are supported by a rich bacterial fauna of many endosymbiotic and gut fauna bacteria of various types, all of which have important interactions between each other and may interact with CLas when it occurs in psyllids.

... :50-57 2009 Microarray analysis indicated that HLB infection significantly affected the expression of 624 genes whose encoded proteins fell into the following categories: sugar metabolism, plant defense, phytohormone, cell wall metabolism and 14 other categories. Anatomical examination indicated that HLB bacterium infection caused phloem disruption, sucrose accumulation, and plugged sieve pores.
From page 295...
... Average bacterial titers in field trees were 6.67 log cells per gram of leaf midrib for CLas and 5.74 for CLam. The titer of CLas in field trees being higher than that of CLam, transmission of the former by the psyllid vector might be more efficient than that of the latter and explain why newly infected trees are more frequently infected with CLas than with CLam.

... Collapse of sieve tubes and companion cells were also observed in HLB infected midribs but not in healthy midribs. TEM observations also indicated that the HLB bacterium can pass through the sieve plate pore, which suggests that it is unlikely that the HLB bacterium physically caused phloem blockage because multiple bacterial cells were not aggregating.
