Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides grows readily but does not formylate methionyl-transfer ribonucleic acid in a defined medium without an added formyl donor. Formylation occurs when the medium is supplemented with N5,N10-methenyltetrahydrofolate or N10-formyltetrahydrofolate, but not with folate.
丝状支原体丝状亚种在无添加甲酰供体的限定培养基中易于生长,但不会使甲硫氨酰 - 转移核糖核酸甲酰化。当培养基补充N5,N10 - 亚甲基四氢叶酸或N10 - 甲酰四氢叶酸时会发生甲酰化,但补充叶酸时则不会。
