Talk:Mycoplasma genitalium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is there a redirect from Mycoplasma to Mycoplasma genitalium? Is Mycoplasma Pneumoniae neglectable, maybe? -- Ruhrjung 04:56 May 2, 2003 (UTC)

The redirect is a temporary measure to fit Mycoplasma genitalium into the bacterial hierarchy without writing a new page. A lot of bacterial genera redirect to species at the moment, and all are somewhat inappropriate, but will be a lot of work to fix. By all means, if you would like to add a Mycoplasma article instead, please do so!

Maybe I will. :-)) Sometime... :->>> I think Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is important in terms of impact on the population/the society. I would, however, lean on old knowledge (not mine, actually, but my lover's) from medschool some 10 years ago. The relevant books are copyrighted in the early 1990s, and to fit in a textbook the knowledge ought to have been old already then.

By the way: I forgot to express my appreciation for your work. That was a mistake. :) -- Ruhrjung 06:57 May 2, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] The smallest non-viral genome...
