Restriction-modification systems in Mycoplasma spp

Restriction-modification systems in Mycoplasma spp

Restriction and Modification (R-M) systems are present in all Mycoplasma species sequenced so far. The presence of these genes poses barriers to gene transfer and could protect the cell against phage infections. The number and types of R-M genes between different Mycoplasma species are variable, whi...
