Reconstructing the functions of endosymbiotic Mollicutes in fungus-growing ants
eLife, 2018 Mollicutes, a widespread class of bacteria associated with animals and plants, were recently identified as abundant abdominal endosymbionts in healthy workers of attine fungus-farming leaf-cutting ants.

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.

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.

Determination of phenolic profile by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and antibacterial activity of Eugenia platysema against mollicutes strains [PDF]
, 2017 This study evaluated the phenolic composition of the extract and fractions from E. platysema leaves, in addition to antibacterial activity against different types of bacteria, like mollicutes and cel wall bacteria. The crude extract (CHE) was partitioned

Metabolomic analysis of three Mollicute species.
PLoS ONE, 2014 We present a systematic study of three bacterial species that belong to the class Mollicutes, the smallest and simplest bacteria, Spiroplasma melliferum, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and Acholeplasma laidlawii.
