Predicting the minimal translation apparatus: lessons from the reductive evolution of mollicutes.

Predicting the minimal translation apparatus: lessons from the reductive evolution of mollicutes.

Mollicutes is a class of parasitic bacteria that have evolved from a common Firmicutes ancestor mostly by massive genome reduction. With genomes under 1 Mbp in size, most Mollicutes species retain the capacity to replicate and grow autonomously. The major goal of this work was to identify the minima...
