Abstract
LITTLE information about the nucleic acids of the Mycoplasmatales is available1, and nowhere has it been reported that un-degraded nucleic acid has been obtained from these organisms. In the investigation reported here, a method was developed for the isolation of highly polymerized, pure deoxyribonucleic acid from Mycoplasma mycoides var. capri.
