Characterization of an Acholeplasma laidlawii variant with a REP- phenotype.

Release of a group 1 mycoplasma virus from Acholeplasma laidlawii after treatment with mitomycin C.

A rod-shaped group 1 mycoplasma virus was released from Acholeplasma laidlawii strain JA2 after treatment with 2.5 mug of mitomycin C per ml. Similar treatment of A. laidlawii strain Bju failed to stimulate release of any PFU.

Genome Sequences of Acholeplasma laidlawii Strains with Increased Resistance to Tetracycline and Melittin

Acholeplasma laidlawii is a well-suited model for studying the molecular basis for adapting mollicutes to environmental conditions. Here, we present the whole-genome sequences of two strains of A. laidlawii with increased resistance to tetracycline and melittin.

Genome Sequences of Acholeplasma laidlawii Strains Differing in Sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin

Acholeplasma laidlawii is a well-suited model for study of the molecular basis of the adaptation of mollicutes to environmental conditions. Here we present the whole-genome sequences of four strains of A. laidlawii with differential sensitivity to ciprofloxacin.

Mycoplasmatales virus-laidlawii 2, a new virus isolated from Acholeplasma laidlawii.

Interaction of mycoplasma virus type 2 with cellular components of Acholeplasma laidlawii strain JA1.

Mycoplasma virus type 2 was shown to adsorb specifically to intact cells, membranes, and lipoglycan of Acholeplasma laidlawii strain JA1 but not to these components of Acholeplasma oculi. The oligosaccharide chain of the lipoglycan defined the specificity of the receptor site since deacylation not only did not reduce adsorption but increased it threefold. Actual adsorption of virus to lipoglyca...
