Mycoplasmas are a group of prokaryotes without cell walls that have evolved through several rounds of degenerative evolution. With a low cell DNA G + C content and definitively long genetic lineages, mycoplasmas are thought to be in a state of rapid ...

Catabolism in Mollicutes [PDF]
The small genome size of mollicutes, and particularly mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas, precludes their possession of the extensive range of metabolic activities present in most other bacterial groups. Demonstrated catabolic activities appear primarily to be associated with energy generation, rather than the provision of substrates for synthetic pathways ...

Mycoplasma genitalium Biofilms Contain Poly-GlcNAc and Contribute to Antibiotic Resistance
Mycoplasma genitalium is an important etiologic agent of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), known for chronicity and multidrug resistance, in which biofilms may play an integral role.

Phylogenetic tree of Mollicutes 16S rRNA. [PDF]
The phylogenetic tree was constructed using Maximum Likelihood, including a total of 312 sequences representing Mollicutes taxa. Scorpion sequences are in bold. Red collapsed regions indicate 12 sequences reported in this study from H. arizonensis and S.

Citrus Stubborn Disease: Current Insights on an Enigmatic Problem Prevailing in Citrus Orchards
Citrus stubborn was initially observed in California in 1915 and was later proven as a graft-transmissible disease in 1942. In the field, diseased citrus trees have compressed and stunted appearances, and yield poor-quality fruits with little market ...

Trachymyrmex septentrionalis Ant Microbiome Assembly Is Unique to Individual Colonies and Castes
Within social insect colonies, microbiomes often differ between castes due to their different functional roles and between colony locations. Trachymyrmex septentrionalis fungus-growing ants form colonies throughout the eastern United States and northern ...

The Photosensitizing Activity of Haematoporphyrin on Mollicutes [PDF]
The photosensitizing activity of haematoporphyrin (HP) on Mycoplasma hominis and Acholeplasma laidlawii was studied as a function of the phase of growth and the amount of sterols in the cell membrane. Less HP was bound to cells when the membrane had a high sterol content.
