Deoxyribonucleic Acid Base Compositions of Selected Mycoplasmas and L-Phase Variants

Carol O Williams 1, Ruth G Wittler 1, Carroll Burris 1
PMCID: PMC250009  PMID: 4979445

Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid base compositions were determined for 25 Mycoplasma strains and 6 L-phase variant strains. Values obtained correlated well with the results of other investigators.
