Mycoplasma genitalium: an efficient strategy to generate genetic variation from a minimal genome.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

Mycoplasma genitalium, a human pathogen associated with sexually transmitted diseases, is unique in that it has smallest genome of any known free-living organism. The goal of this study was to investigate if and how M. genitalium uses a minimal genome to generate genetic variations. We analysed the sequence variability of the third gene (MG192 or mgpC) of the M. genitalium MgPa adhesion operon, demonstrated that...
