The genome size of a plant-pathogenic mycoplasmalike organism resembles those of animal mycoplasmas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genome size of a mycoplasmalike organism was determined by comparing fluorescence intensities of restriction fragments. Its genome size was similar to that of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and much smaller than that of Acholeplasma laidlawii. Although the genome size is "mycoplasmalike," other molecular data indicate a closer evolutionary relationship to A. laidlawii.

The families within the class Mollicutes are distinguished by their morphologies, nutritional requirements, and abilities to metabolize certain compounds. Biosystematic classification of the plant-pathogenic mycoplasmalike organisms (MLOs) has been difficult because these organisms have not been cultured in vitro, and hence their nutritional requirements have not been determined nor have physio...
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...

Of recognized more than 5000 bacterial species, over 100 are the causal agents of plant diseases. They constitute a very important factor limiting growth and cropping of cultivated plants. The pathogenic bacteria are divided into two major groups: eubacteria possessing cell wall and ability to grow on artificial media and bacteria without cell wall but surrounded by cell membrane only. To the l...

Serological techniques are recommended procedures for the identification of Mycoplasma species. They enable separation of mycoplasmas at the species level and are widely used for practical laboratory identification of the isolated microorganisms. However, complex growth media are required for the isolation of Mycoplasma species and some strains of pathogenic Mycoplasma species grow very fastidi...
