Distribution and diversity of mycoplasma plasmids: lessons from cryptic genetic elements
BACKGROUND: The evolution of mycoplasmas from a common ancestor with Firmicutes has been characterized not only by genome down-sizing but also by horizontal gene transfer between mycoplasma species sharing a common host. The mechanisms of these gene transfers remain unclear because our knowledge of...
