No , mycoplasma does not have a cell wall , Mycoplasma is the smallest microorganism of extracellular survival and a class of microbial prokaryotic cells that lack of cell wall. It's general size ranges from 0.3um to 0.5um. It is highly polymorphic that contained sphere, filiform, cladodromous and so on. It is different from cell and virus. It has a great variety and widely distributing. It brings about considerable damage that involved in a number of areas, such as human, animals, plants and so on. It have adverse effects on health condition of people. Of the 16 types of mycoplasma separated from the body,5 types are fatal. Such as M.pneumoniae, Ureaplasma urealyticum, M.homins, M.genitalium and M.fermentans. Ureaplasma contained ureaplasma urealyticum that is fatal. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is caused by respiratory infection, pneumonia is the main reason. Mycoplasma is also a STD , most people get this disease through sex behaviors and when a woman gets this disease , they will have the serious symptoms , the fuyan pill is a kind of herb that can kill various kinds of bacteria .It can cure other reproductive diseases for women radically .

Mycoplasmas differ from other bacteria in that they?
they lack a cell wall
Why are Mycoplasmas pleomorphic?
Mycoplasmas can be described as pleomorphic because they do not have a rigid shape. They can stretch and change their shape because they lack murein or peptidoglycan in their cell walls. In addition, mycoplasmas are the smallest bacteria capable of self reproduction.
Would penicillin be very effective against Mycoplasma?
No- because penicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis and Mycoplasmas don't have a cell wall.
Are prokaryotic cells surrounded by a cell wall?
No. Some bacteria, like mycoplasmas, lack cell walls.
What are the only monerans that lack cell walls?
The only monerans that lack cell walls are mycoplasmas. However, most animals like the Protista do not have a cell wall either.
Why are mycoplasmas resistant to antibiotics that interfere with cell wall synthesis?
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria which lack a cell wall.[1] Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. Several species are pathogenic in humans, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M. genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases.
Are mycoplasmas subject to lysis in hypotonic conditions?
Yes because mycoplasmas are the only bacteria known to lack cell walls
What are mycoplasmas?
Mycoplasmas, a type of bacteria, are the smallest known cells. They are about 0.1 micron in diameter.
What is a outer supportive structure of a plant cell?
The cell wall supports and protects the plant cell.
Which organism has smallest cell size?
Mycoplasmas,a bacteria has the smallest cell of the size of 0.1 micron i.e. ten thousandth part of a milimetre.
What protects the plants cell?
cell wall
What part of the cell is strong and stiff and hard to get through and only found in plants?
The cell wall.But it is not only found in plants, both bacteria and fungi have cell walls too.
