17 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The 16S rRNA gene of Eperythrozoon (Haemobartonella) wenyonii, a wall-less hemotrophic prokaryote currently classified as a rickettsia, was sequenced to determine the relationship of this organism to other wall-less prokaryotes. Comparison to the GenBank data base showed that this hemotrophic organism is a Mycoplasma (family Mollicutes). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes indicated that this and other...
