Abstract

The nucleotide sequences of the rrnB 16S ribosomal RNA gene and its 5'-and 3'-flanking regions from Mycoplasma capricolum have been determined. The coding sequence is 1521 base pairs long, being 21 base pairs shorter than that of the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA gene. The 16S rRNA sequence of M. capricolum reveals 74% and 76% identify with that of E. coli and Anacystis nidulans, respectively. The secondary structure model constructed from the M. capricolum 16S rRNA gene sequence resembles that proposed for E. coli 16S rRNA. A large stem structure can be constructed between the 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. The flanking regions are extremely rich in AT.
