The genome of Mycoplasma gallisepticum A5969 contains a truncated pseudogene for 16S rRNA in addition to a single unsplit rRNA‐operon and a second discontinuous set of rRNA genes. Other M. gallisepticum strains tested do not posses the truncated gene. This gene is almost identical to full‐size isolated 16S rRNA gene starting from at least 500 nucleotides upstream of the coding sequence and ending at the 977th nucleotide within the structural part of 16S rRNA.
