Abstract
The macro-restriction map of Mycoplasma fermentans (incogitus strain) was constructed and its rRNA genes were located on the map. It was fou nd that this organism contains two sets of rRNA genes. The 16S and 23S rRNA genes were closely linked as two clusters. However. bath 5S rRNA genes were separated from the 16S and 23S genes. The two 16S-23S rRNA gene clusters were arranged in an unusual tail to tail orientation.
