Description of Mycoplasma genitalium

taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillus/Clostridium group; Mollicutes; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasma
Mycoplasmas are members of the class Mollicutes and comprise a large group of bacteria which lack a cell wall, have small genomes, and a characteristically low G+ C content. These diverse organisms are parasites for a wide range of hosts including humans, animals, insects, plants, and cells grown in tissue culture. Aside from their role as pathogens, mycoplasmas are of interest because they are believed to represent a minimal life form, having yielded to selective pressure to reduce genome size. The species with the smallest genome size in this class is Mycoplasma genitalium (580 kb), which was originally isolated from urethral specimens of patients with non-gonoccocal urethritis and has since been shown to exist in parasitic association with ciliated epithelial cells of primate genital and respiratory tracts .
The total number of ORF of Mycoplasma genitalium used in this study is 470.

This is our high coverage report. The threshold for transmembrane helices is lowered to get higher coverage, so the reliability decreases.
This page only covers those proteins that are not detected by our normal threshold (shown in our high reliability report).
