message: ...is currently identified as Carsonella ruddii.  This article should be updated to reflect this. -Gavin 13:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking of which, could there be a link to how many genes M. genitalium really has? My book here mentions 477 genes, the article however mentions more. It would be nice to be able to VERIFY the origin of this information. 178.190.73.145 (talk) 02:23, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The image currently portrayed will make no sense to the majority of readers of this article. It should either be given a caption as to what exactly is represented, or an alternative picture should be used.Lilac Soul 09:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

message: If M. genitalium is a parasite, then isn't the descriptor of "free-living" contradictory?--Mr Fink (talk) 18:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question Concerning The Term "Free-living" 

message: : M. genitalium is the smallest known free-living bacterium, and the second-smallest bacterium after the recently-discovered endosymbiont Carsonella ruddii
Can we get some figure here please? --Iustinus (talk) 15:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size 

message: The article states that Mycoplasma genitalium has the smallest known genome that can constitute a cell, yet at the same time it concedes that Nanoarchaeum equitans, which is a cellular organism, has an even smaller genome.  --Lambiam 08:03, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, I’m not sure the Mb is correct. Can somebody tell me if this is really bits, or misspelled bytes… or even base pairs, which cannot be written as “b” at all, since that’s already reserved for bits. — 89.0.229.188 (talk) 21:01, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference link no longer working 

message: Science Magazine March 25, 2016 covers the creation of a new stripped down synthetic microbe that has the fewest genes, 473. It looks like a new hot topic, as more researchers will be using the new cell for important gene work.  This may be a good reason to re-open The Minimal Genome Project as a proper page on its own.

replies: text: The article Mycoplasma laboratorium gives a gene count for M. genitalium as 475 since Dec 2011. If this is indeed its correct gene count, then the new microbe's 473 doesn't seem to be much of an improvement. Titus III (talk) 06:11, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

text: Honestly I still can't find good resources for the gene count difference between M. labortorium Syn3.0, Syn3A, and Syn3B. It's another rather tedious facet of working with M. mycoides on top of the taxonomy issues with the clade and common misconceptions of the genus as a whole. MichaelPlasma 21:39, 20 Oct 2021 (UTC)
