Abstract

production. This study is a key step forward in elucidating why this protein plays a key role in virulence in chickens. This study also emphasizes the importance of functional characterization of mycoplasma proteins, using tools such as metabolomics, since prediction of function based on homology to other bacterial proteins is not always accurate.
