The phylogeny of Mycoplasma bovis as determined by sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene
Mattsson, Jens; Guss, Bengt; Johansson, Karl-Erik
Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma bovis has been determined. Comparisons with other 16S rRNA sequences of mycoplasmas showed that Mycoplasma agalactine is phylogenetically the closest relative. In total, only eight nucleotides differed between the M. bovis and M. agalactiae 168 rRNA sequences. The phylogenetic position of M. bovis with respect to other mycoplasmas was determined by sequence comparisons and from features in the secondary structure of 16S rRNA.
