  • Title: Phylogenetic analysis of the mycoplasmas.
    Author: Woese CR, Maniloff J, Zablen LB.
    Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 1980 Jan; 77(1):494-8. PubMed ID: 6928642.
    Abstract:
    The phylogenetic relationships between the mycoplasmas and bacteria have been established from a comparative analysis of their 16S rRNA oligonucleotide catalogs. The genera Mycoplasma, Spiroplasma, and Acholeplasma arose by degenerative evolution, as a deep branch of the subline of clostridial ancestry that led to Bacillus and Lactobacillus. Thermoplasma has no specific relationship to the other mycoplasmas; it belongs with the archaebacteria.
