The nucleotide sequences of the rrnB 16S ribosomal RNA gene and its 5'-and 3'-flanking regions from Mycoplasma capricolum have been determined. The coding sequence is 1521 base pairs long, being 21 base pairs shorter than that of the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA gene. The 16S rRNA sequence of M. capric

β¦ Synopsis
The nucleotide sequence of a segment of the mtDNA molecule of the locust Locusta migratoria containing the complete large rRNA (16S) gene and some nucleotides in its vincinity has been determined. The gene contains 1314 nucleotides, comprising the smallest metazoan gene reported to date. The gene has a low content of GC (21%) and exhibits an extended sequence homology to the corresponding gene of the dipteran insect Drosophila yakuba, suggesting a comparable secondary structure. The gene structure is discussed in an evolutionary and functional context.

The plastid 16S-23S intergenic spacer region in Conopholis americana, a totally heterotrophic angiosperm in the family Orobanchaceae, has undergone large deletions, including the entire tRNA(Ile) gene and all but small remnants of the tRNA(Ala) gene. The length of the region is less than 20% of that
The complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S ribosomal RNA gene from a blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans, has been determined. Its coding region is estimated to be 1,487 base pairs long, which is nearly identical to those reported for chloroplast 16S rRNA genes and is about 4% shorter than that of th
