Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoidesSC (MmymySC)is the etiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), a highly contagious respiratory disease in cattle. The genome of Mmymy SC type strain PG1(T) has been sequenced to map all the genes and to facilitate further studies regarding the cell function of the organism and CBPP. The genome is characterized by a single circular chromosome of 1211703 bp with...
