Comparative genomic and proteomic analyses of two Mycoplasma agalactiae strains: clues to the macro- and micro-events that are shaping mycoplasma diversity [PDF]
Background: While the genomic era is accumulating a tremendous amount of data, the question of how genomics can describe a bacterial species remains to be fully addressed.

Bacteria are rather simple forms of life. However, despite extensive research, many functions of many potentially important proteins have yet to be elucidated even in the model organism Bacillus subtilis. We present a workflow for characterizing unknown genes and proteins, from the initial generation of minimal information to functional identification.

Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia and its current picture in Pakistan: a review
Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp) which belongs to the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster, a group of five closely related Mycoplasmas, pathogenic to ruminants.

Bovine Mycoplasmas: Classification of Groups Related to Mycoplasma Mycoides [PDF]
Mycoplasmas which had in various ways proved to be related to Mycoplasma mycoides were studied with a view to classification and nomenclature. Representative strains of M. mycoides — subspecies mycoides (PG1) and subspecies capri (PG3) — and of the as yet unclassified bovine serogroups 7 (PG50) and L (B144P) were compared serologically and by DNA-DNA ...

The relationship of two equine mycoplasmas toMycoplasma mycoides [PDF]
SummaryTwo unidentified mycoplasmas, N3 and N11, isolated from the respiratory tract of horses, were found to cross-react with strains ofM. mycoidessubsp.mycoidesin indirect immunofluorescence tests, growth-inhibition tests carried out by the running drop/agar-well method, and in complement-fixation and double immunodiffusion tests.

Pathways of pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide biosynthesis in Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides [PDF]
By measuring the specific activity of deoxyribonucleotides isolated from DNA after the incorporation of 14C-labeled precursors with and without competition from other nucleotide precursors, we defined the major pathways of pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide synthesis in Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides.

Species of Mycoplasma causing contagious agalactia in small ruminants in Northwest Iran
Contagious agalactia (CA) is a serious disease of small ruminants that occurs in many countries, and is usually characterized by mastitis, arthritis, keratoconjunctivitis, pleuropneumonia, and septicemia.

Prevalence of Mycoplasma bovis in Respiratory Tract of Cattle Slaughtered in Balochistan, Pakistan [PDF]
Cattle lungs (n=1200) obtained from abattoir of 10 districts of Balochistan were processed for isolation and identification of Mycoplasma species. A total of 156 isolates produced typical fried egg colonies on Modified Hayflick’s agar medium and 87.8 ...

A Specific Polysaccharide from Mycoplasma mycoides [PDF]
SUMMARY: Washed suspensions of Mycoplasma mycoides var. mycoides were found to contain c. 10 % by weight of carbohydrate. The only sugars detected in hydrolysates were galactose and ribose. A galactan was obtained by extraction with warm aqueous phenol.
