ABSTRACT

Mycoplasma sp. strain G145^T (T = type strain) was isolated from a goat's abscessed ankle. Strain G145^T required cholesterol or serum for growth and possessed characteristics similar to those of other members of the genus Mycoplasma. This strain was serologically distinct from previously described Mycoplasma. species and from a group of currently unnamed strains thought to belong to the genus Mycoplasma. Strain G145^T hydrolyzed arginine, but did not hydrolyze urea or ferment glucose. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the DNA was 29.6 mol%. We propose that strain G145 (= ATCC 27948) is the type strain of a new species, for which we propose the name Mycoplasma adleri.
