TLDR
The taxonomy of canine Mollicutes is described, based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S r RNA intergenic spacer (IGS) region sequences, and the two untyped Mycoplasma strains, HRC 689 and VJC 358, were found to be distinct from all known canine mycoplasmas and all published myCoplasma 16S sRNA gene sequences.Abstract:
The taxonomy of canine Mollicutes is described, based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S rRNA intergenic spacer (IGS) region sequences. The nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene of two untyped mycoplasmas and the IGS region of 11 Mycoplasma species were determined and used for phylogenetic analysis. The two untyped Mycoplasma strains, HRC 689 and VJC 358, were found to be distinct from all known canine mycoplasmas and all published mycoplasma 16S rRNA gene sequences.read more

Phylum XVI. Tenericutes Murray 1984a, 356 VP (Effective publication: Murray 1984b, 33.)
TL;DR: The nomenclatural type by monotypy is the class Mollicutes, which consists of very small prokaryotes that are devoid of cell walls, and some species do possess an extracellular glycocalyx.

High inter-species and low intra-species variation in 16S-23S rDNA spacer sequences of pathogenic avian mycoplasmas offers potential use as a diagnostic tool.
TL;DR: The 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) of the type strain of 23 avian Mycoplasma species were amplified and the sequences determined, and it appeared to be of value for determining species since there was high inter-species variation between all 23 bird species.

Development of a polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Mycoplasma felis in domestic cats
TL;DR: The PCR was found to behighly specific for M. felis and further PCR analysis on clinical samples showed the PCR to be highly sensitive and more rapid than the other methods of identification currently available.

Molecular identification of Mycoplasma cynos from laboratory beagle dogs with respiratory disease.
Sunhwa Hong,Okjin Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this study, a colony of 20 beagle dogs in a laboratory animal facility was examined, and canine Mycoplasma was detected by consensus PCR assay in 1 dog with respiratory and constitutional symptoms, identified by amplification of DNA extracted from lung tissue of the laboratory beagleDog with respiratory disease.

The CLUSTAL_X windows interface: flexible strategies for multiple sequence alignment aided by quality analysis tools.
TL;DR: ClUSTAL X is a new windows interface for the widely-used progressive multiple sequence alignment program CLUSTAL W, providing an integrated system for performing multiple sequence and profile alignments and analysing the results.

Rapid and Sensitive Sequence Comparison with FASTP and FASTA.
TL;DR: FASTA and FASTP were designed to identify protein sequences that have descended from a common ancestor and they have proved very useful for this task, but it is not clear that NWS-based programs would be more successful in finding distantly related members of the G-protein-coupled receptor family.

Likelihood-mapping: A simple method to visualize phylogenetic content of a sequence alignment
TL;DR: A graphical method, likelihood-mapping, is introduced, to visualize the phylogenetic content of a set of aligned sequences, based on an analysis of the maximum likelihoods for the three fully resolved tree topologies that can be computed for four sequences.
