Resumo
Mycoplasma synoviae and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae are wall-less eubacteria belonging to the class of
Mollicutes. These prokaryotes have a reduced genome size and reduced biosynthetic machinery. They cause great
losses in animal production. M. synoviae is responsible for an upper respiratory tract disease of chickens and tur-
keys. M. hyopneumoniae is the causative agent of enzootic pneumonia in pigs. The complete genomes of these or-
ganisms showed 17 ORFs encoding kinases in M. synoviae and 15 in each of the M. hyopneumoniae strain. Four
kinase genes were restricted to the avian pathogen while three were specific to the pig pathogen when compared to
each other. All deduced kinases found in the non pathogenic strain (J[ATCC25934]) were also found in the patho-
genic M. hyopneumoniae strain. The enzymes were classified in nine families composing five fold groups.
