Figure Lengend Snippet: COG classification of genes. (A) Clusters of orthologous genes (COGs) distribution among the 52 M. hominis strains associated with infertility. (B) COGs distribution among the 10 M. hominis strains associated with genital infections. Bars in green, red, and blue, represent the core genome, the accessory genes (shell genes), and unique genes (cloud genes), respectively.
Article Snippet: The genome size of M. hominis reference strain PG21 (ATCC 23114) was estimated to be around 665 kb (Calcutt and Foecking, ), thus exceeding Mycoplasma genitalium genome (580 kb), the smallest genome of any organism that can be grown in pure culture (Fookes et al., ), by only 85 kb.
