An Acholeplasma laidlawii variant has been isolated that has a REP- phenotype. The properties of this variant, relative to parental cells, are: (i) it exhibits no change in cell growth kinetics; (ii) it does not propagate single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mycoplasmaviruses but does propagate double-stranded DNA mycoplasmaviruses; (iii) it converts parental circular single-stranded mycoplasmavirus DNA to double-stranded replicative forms that are not replicated further; (iv) it exhibits no change in host modification and restriction; and (v) it has an increased ultraviolet light sensitivity. The REP- isolate is the first stable mycoplasma variant to which a physiological defect has been attributed.
已分离出一种具有REP-表型的莱氏无胆甾原体变种。相对于亲代细胞,该变种的特性如下:(i)其细胞生长动力学无变化;(ii)它不能传播单链脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)支原体病毒,但能传播双链DNA支原体病毒;(iii)它将亲代环状单链支原体病毒DNA转化为双链复制形式,但这些复制形式不再进一步复制;(iv)其宿主修饰和限制无变化;(v)它对紫外线的敏感性增加。该REP-分离株是首个被归因于生理缺陷的稳定支原体变种。
