Abstract
A spontaneous, hemadsorption-negative mutant of Mycoplasma pneumoniae lacks the cytoskeleton-forming HMW1 protein and exhibits a truncated a dhesin-related 30-kDa protein. Genetic analyses revealed deletion of o ne nucleotide in the hmw1 gene and loss of eight repeated sequences co mprising 144 nucleotides in the gene for the adhesin-related 30-kDa pr otein.
