Reconstruction of Transcription Control Networks in Mollicutes by High-Throughput Identification of Promoters [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Bacteria of the class Mollicutes have significantly reduced genomes and gene expression control systems. They are also efficient pathogens that can colonize a broad range of hosts including plants and animals.

Evaluation of the biocontrol activity of Frateuria defendens-derived metabolites against mollicutes
Plant Signaling and Behavior, 2022 Frateuria defendens is a candidate biocontrol agent that has been shown to reduce phytoplasma-related disease symptoms in grapevines and periwinkle plants. While a crude filtrate prepared from F.

Comparative genomic analysis of mollicutes with and without a chaperonin system [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The GroE chaperonin system, which comprises GroEL and GroES, assists protein folding in vivo and in vitro. It is conserved in all prokaryotes except in most, but not all, members of the class of mollicutes.

On the Trail of Stubborn Bacterial Yellowing Diseases [PDF]
MicroorganismsThis retrospective review traces personal encounters along the complex path of plant yellowing diseases—graft-transmissible disorders historically attributed to elusive viruses, but later linked to phloem-invading, wall-less bacteria known as Mollicutes.

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.

Discovery of deep-sea coral symbionts from a novel clade of marine bacteria with severely reduced genomes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMicrobes perform critical functions in corals, yet most knowledge is derived from the photic zone. Here, we discover two mollicutes that dominate the microbiome of the deep-sea octocoral, Callogorgia delta, and likely reside in the mesoglea.

Predicting the Minimal Translation Apparatus: Lessons from the Reductive Evolution of Mollicutes [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Mollicutes is a class of parasitic bacteria that have evolved from a common Firmicutes ancestor mostly by massive genome reduction. With genomes under 1 Mbp in size, most Mollicutes species retain the capacity to replicate and grow autonomously.
