Abstract excerpt
We have developed genetic tools for the atypical bacterium Acholeplasma laidlawii. A. laidlawii is a member of the class Mollicutes, which lacks cell walls, has small genomes, and has limited metabolic capabilities, requiring many metabolites from their hosts. Several of these traits have facilitated the development of genome transplantation for some Mollicutes, consequently enabling the generation of synthetic...
