Distinction of species and strains of mycoplasmas (mollicutes) by genomic DNA fingerprints with an rRNA gene probe.
Genomic fingerprints of Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma hominis, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains were obtained by Southern blot hybridization of the digested mycoplasmal DNAs with an rRNA gene probe. The hybridization patterns revealed genotypic heterogeneity among A. laidlawii and M. hominis strains and a remarkable degree of homogeneity among M. pneumoniae strains isolated from pneumonia...

commercial species a couple of years ago. The device uses strobe lights to take nighttime visual images of the reef. The results of these new studies reveal the deep-water reefs to have nearly 100 per cent living coral cover. Until recently, little information was available on the structure and composition of the deeper coral reefs due to their depths at 30 to 75 metres, which are beyond the sa...
متن کاملPresence of two sets of ribosomal genes in phytopathogenic mollicutes.
DNA from 28 strains of phytopathogenic mycoplasmalike organisms that represented five primary taxonomic clusters was digested with restriction endonucleases and hybridized with several ribosomal probes. The results indicate the presence of two sets of ribosomal genes in all strains examined. Restriction maps of the two ribosomal operons for a group of 12 aster yellows mycoplasmalike organisms w...
متن کاملGenes involved in cell division in mycoplasmas
Bacterial cell division has been studied mainly in model systems such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, where it is described as a complex process with the participation of a group of proteins which assemble into a multiprotein complex called the septal ring. Mycoplasmas are cell wall-less bacteria presenting a reduced genome. Thus, it was important to compare their genomes to analyze ...
متن کاملHaemotropic Mycoplasmas (Haemoplasmas): A Review
Haemoplasmas contain Eperythrozoon and Haemobartonella species, which are widespread causes of animal and human infections. These obligatory cell parasites were previously known as Hemobartonella; now hemotropic mycoplasmas. These bacteria are identified by the lack of cell wall and their small genome. The usual diameter is between 0.3 and1μm. Mycoplasmasarepolymorphi...
