Extracellular vesicles of minimalistic Mollicutes as mediators of immune modulation and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Communications BiologyExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are central components of bacterial secretomes, including the small, cell wall-less Mollicutes. Although EV release in Mollicutes has been reported, EV proteomic composition and function have not been explored yet.

Transition of the genital mollicutes from the second to the third trimester of pregnancy and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM women: a prospective, single-center cohort study from China [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground The association of genital Mollicutes infection transition with adverse pregnancy outcomes was insignificant among general pregnant women, but there remains a paucity of evidence linking this relationship in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

Multiple Origins and Specific Evolution of CRISPR/Cas9 Systems in Minimal Bacteria (Mollicutes)
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 CRISPR/Cas systems provide adaptive defense mechanisms against invading nucleic acids in prokaryotes. Because of its interest as a genetic tool, the Type II CRISPR/Cas9 system from Streptococcus pyogenes has been extensively studied. It includes the Cas9

Comparative genomics of Mollicutes-related endobacteria supports a late invasion into Mucoromycota fungi [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Probing the evolution of bacterial endosymbionts in Mucoromycota - Mollicutes-related endobacteria (MRE) - reveals that the genera Linnemannia and Benniella acquired MRE after host divergence from a common ancestor.

The vaginal microbiome of pregnant women is less rich and diverse, with lower prevalence of Mollicutes, compared to non-pregnant women [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The vaginal microbiome plays an important role in maternal and neonatal health. Imbalances in this microbiota (dysbiosis) during pregnancy are associated with negative reproductive outcomes, such as pregnancy loss and preterm birth, but the underlying ...

Reductive Evolution and Diversification of C5-Uracil Methylation in the Nucleic Acids of Mollicutes
Biomolecules, 2020 The C5-methylation of uracil to form 5-methyluracil (m5U) is a ubiquitous base modification of nucleic acids. Four enzyme families have converged to catalyze this methylation using different chemical solutions.
