Deletion mutant from Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri strain GM12, YCpMmyc1.1-deltaglf
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri str. GM12
GM12 strain was originally isolated by Al DaMassa. In 2009 the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) cloned the genome into Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a yeast centromeric plasmid and named it YCpMmyc1.1. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), in collaboration with JCVI and the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), expanded on this work and then used yeast genetic tools to delete the glf gene encoding the enzyme UDP-galactopyranose mutase. The genome was transplanted from yeast into a Mycoplasma capricolum recipient cell to generate the novel mutant M. mycoides subspecies capri YCpMmyc1.1-deltaglf.
