Role of Membrane Sterols in Mycoplasma capricolum

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1982
A low level of cholesterol in lanosterol-rich membranes of Mycoplasma capricolum exerts a synergistic effect on growth while leaving the bulk physical state of the membrane unchanged. This observation has led to the proposal that cholesterol may serve a dual role in membranes: one as a bulk component and another of a more specialized nature involving ...

The Genome of Mycoplasma capricolum

1987
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the genome of Mycoplasma capricolum. The simplest way to estimate the approximate number of genes encoded in the genome is to count the number of the gene products in the cell. The entire protein content of M.

Transformation of Mycoplasma capricolum and Examination of DNA Restriction Modification in M. capricolum and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides

Plasmid, 1994
Plasmids pIK delta and pIK delta-erm have recently been developed as mycoplasmal cloning vectors. In this report, we demonstrate that these plasmids can replicate in Mycoplasma capricolum, a mycoplasmal species for which transformation had not previously been characterized.

Physical State of Membrane Lipids of Mycoplasma capricolum

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1982
The physical state of the lipids in Mycoplasma capricolum membranes was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Cells grown in the presence of horse serum incorporated large amounts of cholesterol esters into their membranes. After incubation at a low temperature, the cholesterol ester-containing membranes showed an endotherm characteristic of a ...

Evolutionary dynamics of tryptophan tRNAs in Mycoplasma capricolum

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1988
Mycoplasma capricolum uses two tryptophan codons, the "universal" nonsense codon UGA and the universal codon UGG. The bacterium contains two tryptophan tRNAs, one with anticodon UCA, (U: 2'-O-methyl U derivative), and the other with CCA (5'-C: partially 2'-O-methylated). tRNAUCA would translate codons UGA and probably UGG by wobbling.

Organization of ribosomal RNA genes in Mycoplasma capricolum

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1984
DNA segments carrying rRNA genes of Mycoplasma capricolum have been cloned and characterized by restriction endonuclease mapping, DNA-RNA hybridization and nucleotide sequencing. The M. capricolum genome has two sets of rRNA gene clusters, where the arrangement is in the order of (5')16S-23S-5S(3').

Mycoplasma capricolum Genome Project

1998
The Mycoplasmas are very small, wall-less bacteria phylogenetically related to gram-positive Eubacteria such as Bacillus subtilis (see also Chapters 40 and 41). Mycoplasma capricolum is an example of one of the smallest of free-living organisms (Ryan and Morowitz, 1969) with a genome estimated to be between 724 kb (Poddar and Maniloff, 1989) and 1.1 ...

Pathogenicity of Mycoplasma capricolum and Mycoplasma putrefaciens.

Israel journal of medical sciences, 1985
Mycoplasma capricolum causes high morbidity and mortality in goats. Young kids fed a one-time oral dose of greater than or equal to 1 X 10(5) colony-forming units of the GM13 isolate usually died during the septicemic phase. The cardinal lesions were a fibrinopurulent polyarthritis and an acute, diffuse interstitial pneumonia.

Mortality in adult goats attributed to Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capricolum

Veterinary Record, 2008
Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capricolum has been isolated from the oral cavity, external ear canal and milk of healthy goats ([Cottew and Yeats 1982][1], [DaMassa and Brooks 1991][2], [De la Fe and others 2005][3]) but has also been found to be pathogenic, and can cause severe losses in ...
