Members of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster' represent important livestock pathogens worldwide. Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides is the etiologic agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), which is still endemic in many parts of Africa. We report the genome sequences and annotation of two frequently used challenge strains of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides, Afadé and B237. The information provided will enable downstream 'omics' applications such as proteomics, transcriptomics and reverse vaccinology approaches. Despite the absence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae like cyto-adhesion encoding genes, the two strains showed the presence of protrusions. This phenotype is likely encoded by another set of genes.

Background And Objective: Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is a highly contagious mycoplasmal respiratory disease primarily affecting goats and sheep caused by subsp. (Mccp). So far, there is no available information on either the serological or molecular identification of Mccp in Bangladesh.

Article Synopsis
- - Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides, is a serious respiratory disease that threatens cattle health and livestock productivity in Ethiopia, with a pooled prevalence of 13% based on 23 studies covering over 52,000 cattle.
- - The study revealed significant geographic variations in CBPP prevalence, with the highest rates found in the eastern (18%) and western (15%) regions, and highlighted that post-2016, prevalence rates rose to 16% compared to 8% before that year.
- - Factors such as herd size, body condition of cattle, and the location of the study were found to significantly influence CBPP prevalence, indicating a

The JCVI-Syn3 organism is a minimal organism derived from Mycoplasma mycoides capri, which is capable of self-replication. While the ancestor has 863 genes, the synthetic progeny has only 473, with 434 of these coding for proteins. Despite initial efforts to understand all functions of the organism, a significant number of these protein-coding genes still have unknown functions, and subsequent studies have been only partially successful in elucidating their roles.

Genome-based analysis allows for large-scale classification of diverse bacteria and has been widely adopted for delineating species. Unfortunately, for higher taxonomic ranks such as genus, establishing a generally accepted approach based on genome analysis is challenging. While core-genome phylogenies depict the evolutionary relationships among species, determining the correspondence between clades and genera may not be straightforward.

All cells are encapsulated by a lipid membrane that facilitates their interactions with the environment. How cells manage diverse mixtures of lipids, which dictate membrane property and function, is experimentally challenging to address. Here, we present an approach to tune and minimize membrane lipid composition in the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides and its derived 'minimal cell' (JCVI-Syn3A), revealing that a two-component lipidome can support life.
