Electrophoretic Analysis of Cell Proteins of T-Strain Mycoplasmas Isolated from Man

Abstract

Electrophoretic patterns of the cell proteins of 12 T-strain mycoplasmas isolated from man showed a remarkable similarity. This finding suggests that these strains are genetically closely related and supports their classification in a single species.
