Abstract
Twenty-two mutants of Mycoplasma pneumoniae spontaneously deficient in hemadsorption were isolated. Examination of mutant protein profiles by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis permitted the grouping of these mutants into four classes. The largest class of mutants was deficient in four high-molecular-weight proteins (215,000, 210,000, 190,000, and 140,000). A second class of mutants lacked three proteins previously designated A, B, and C (72,00, 85,000, and 37,000, respectively). A single mutant, in addition to lacking proteins A, B, and C, was missing a fourth protein of 165,000 molecular weight. The remaining mutants exhibited
