Abstract excerpt
The information of the biosynthesis pathways of Mycoplasma fermentans specific major lipid-antigen, named glycoglycerophospholipids (GGPLs), is expected to be some of help to understand the virulence of M. fermentans. We examined primary structure of cholinephosphotransferase (mf1) and glucosyltransferase (mf3) genes, which engage GGPL-I and GGPL-III synthesis, in 20 strains, and found four types of variations in...
