Mycoplasmas are successful pathogens that cause debilitating diseases in humans and
various animal hosts. Despite the exceptionally streamlined genomes, mycoplasmas have …

Translation efficiency has been mainly studied by ribosome profiling, which only provides an
incomplete picture of translation kinetics. Here, we integrated the absolute quantifications of …

Bacteria present a promising delivery system for treating human diseases. Here, we
engineered the genome‐reduced human lung pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a live …

The development of advanced genetic tools is boosting microbial engineering which can
potentially tackle wide-ranging challenges currently faced by our society. Here we present …

Mycoplasma species share a set of features, such as lack of a cell wall, streamlined
genomes, simplified metabolism, and the use of a deviant genetic code, that make them …

Mycoplasmas have exceptionally streamlined genomes and are strongly adapted to their
many hosts, which provide them with essential nutrients. Owing to their relative genomic …

The pathogenicity of Mycoplasma hominis is poorly understood, mainly due to the absence
of efficient genetic tools. A polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation protocol was …

Identifying open reading frames (ORFs) being translated is not a trivial task. ProTInSeq is a
technique designed to characterize proteomes by sequencing transposon insertions …

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (Mgal) is a common pathogen of poultry worldwide that has
recently spread to North American house finches after a single host shift in 1994. The …

Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms. These bacteria are important models
for both fundamental and synthetic biology, owing to their highly reduced genomes. They …
