| mycoplasma cavipharyngis and mycoplasma fastidiosum, the closest relatives to eperythrozoon spp. and haemobartonella spp. | the 16s rrna gene sequences of mycoplasma cavipharyngis and mycoplasma fastidiosum have been determined. phylogenetic analysis showed that these species formed a new cluster within the so-called pneumoniae group of the mollicutes (class mollicutes). this cluster will be referred to as the m. fastidiosum cluster. interestingly, the m. fastidiosum cluster formed a sister lineage to the haemotrophic bacteria. eperythrozoon spp. and haemobartonella spp. the two latter genera, formerly classified as ... | 1999 | 10339825 |
| mycoplasma insons sp. nov., a twisted mycoplasma from green iguanas (iguana iguana). | mycoplasma insons sp. nov., first cultured from the choanae and tracheae of healthy green iguanas (iguana iguana) from el salvador, was readily distinguished from all previously described mollicutes and assigned to the mycoplasma fastidiosum phylogenetic cluster by 16s rrna gene sequence comparisons. growth inhibition assays distinguished the isolates serologically from the other two members of that cluster. many m. insons cells exhibit a remarkable twisted rod morphology despite lacking a cell ... | 2007 | 17697083 |
| rnase p rna gene (rnpb) phylogeny of hemoplasmas and other mycoplasma species. | partial sequences of the rnase p rna gene (rnpb) were obtained from a number of hemoplasmas and other mycoplasma species. phylogenetic analysis of these sequences showed that all hemoplasmas were present within a single clade and were most closely related to mycoplasma fastidiosum, similar to the results found with 16s rrna gene phylogeny. | 2008 | 18337389 |
