Mycoplasmas are tiny, virus-like non-motile prokaryotic organisms. They are the simplest and smallest known organisms capable of growing on cell free laboratory culture media containing sterols. Mycoplasmas lack definite cell wall and are characteristically delimited by a distinct, soft, flexible trilaminar unit membrane of lipoprotein. Because of the soft and plastic membrane they can assume a variety of shapes and [...]
