Abstract:
The genome of Mycoplasma gallisepticum A5969 contains a truncated pseudogene for 16S rRNA in addition to a single unsplit rRNA-operon and a second discontinuous set of rRNA genes. Other M. gallisepticum strains tested do not possess the truncated gene. This gene is almost identical to full-size isolated 16S rRNA gene starting from at least 500 nucleotides upstream of the coding sequence and ending at the 977th nucleotide within the structural part of 16S rRNA.
