| taxonomy of the feline mycoplasmas mycoplasma felifaucium, mycoplasma feliminutum, mycoplasma felis, mycoplasma gateae, mycoplasma leocaptivus, mycoplasma leopharyngis, and mycoplasma simbae by 16s rrna gene sequence comparisons. | the nucleotide sequence of the 16s rrna gene of eight mycoplasmas isolated from felids was determined and used for taxonomic comparisons. a signature nucleotide sequence motif and overall sequence similarity to other mollicutes positioned mycoplasma felifaucium, mycoplasma felis, mycoplasma leocaptivus, mycoplasma leopharyngis, and mycoplasma simbae in the mycoplasma fermentans phylogenetic group of mollicutes. mycoplasma arginini and mycoplasma gateae were positioned in the mycoplasma hominis p ... | 1995 | 8590684 |
| mycoplasma simbae sp. nov., mycoplasma leopharyngis sp. nov., and mycoplasma leocaptivus sp. nov., isolated from lions. | mycoplasmas isolated from the throats of lions were shown to belong to three serotypes, all of which were serologically distinct from the previously recognized mycoplasma and acholeplasma spp. eight mycoplasma colonies were cloned, including one from a leopard (strain lp), and were examined in detail for morphology, growth, and biochemical characteristics. the strains had the following properties: guanine-plus-cytosine contents of 37 mol% (strain lxt [t = type strain]), 28 mol% (strain ll2t), an ... | 1992 | 1390104 |
