Mycoplasmataceae is a family of bacteria[1] in the order Mycoplasmatales. This family consists of Mycoplasma and four more genera.[2]
In 1967, the order Mycoplasmatales was incorporated into the class Mollicutes.[3] Sexually transmitted species and Ureaplasma are classified in Mycoplasmoidaceae since 2018.[4]
Taxonomy
Mycoplasma
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall and possess a three-layered cellular membrane.[5] They can be parasitic or saprotrophic.
Several species formerly classified as Mycoplasma are sexually transmitted and pathogenic in humans (see Template:Section link). Others are found on cats, dogs, and barnyard fowl.
Taxa infecting insects
A few genera infecting insects were added to this family in 2019 using molecular phylogenetic evidence. These genera were originally called Entomoplasmataceae and believed to be monophyletic.[6] However, work in 2019 found it to be a paraphyletic group by the exclusion of Mycoplasma. The two original genera (Mesoplasma and Entomoplasma) were also found to be in need of breaking up due to polyphyly. As a result five genera were finally added:[7]
- Mesoplasma (formerly "Mesoplasma clade I")
- Entomoplasma (formerly "Entomoplasma clade I")
- Tullyiplasma (formerly "Mesoplasma clade II")
- Williamsoniiplasma (formerly "Entomoplasma clade II")
- Edwardiiplasma (formerly "Mesoplasma clade III")
Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[8]
