Query: NC_014751:449001 Mycoplasma leachii PG50 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Mycoplasma leachii; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria General Information: Mycoplasma leachii, formerly Mycoplasma sp. 'bovine group 7', was originally isolated from cattle suffering from arthritis and mastitis in Australia. Mycoplasma leachii is part of the mycoides cluster like Mycoplasma mycoides SC and Mycoplasma capricolum, but it can infect both bovine and caprine hosts.

General Information: Environment: Host; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 40C. The bacterium requires phenylacetic and phenylpropionic acids for maximal growth. The organism produces cellulosomes at the cell surface that are multimeric protein complexes that contain scaffolding proteins and degradative enzymes. Understanding the metabolism of plant polysaccharides may enable scientists to improve the productivity of ruminant organisms such as cattle
