Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma bovis has b een determined. Comparisons with other 16S rRNA sequences of mycoplasm as showed that Mycoplasma agalactine is phylogenetically the closest r elative. In total, only eight nucleotides differed between the M. bovi s and M. agalactiae 168 rRNA sequences. The phylogenetic position of M . bovis with respect to other mycoplasmas was determined by sequence c omparisons and from features in the secondary structure of 16S rRNA.
