What else can I help you with?
The only bacteria that has cholesterol in its plasma membrane?
Mycoplasma bacteria are known for incorporating cholesterol into their plasma membrane. This unique feature helps them to maintain stability and rigidity in the absence of a cell wall.
Which bacteria do not have cell wall?
Mycoplasma and Thermoplasma are two examples of bacteria that lack a cell wall. These bacteria have evolved to survive without a rigid cell wall by utilizing alternative mechanisms for structural support and protection.
What is smallest free living cell with cell wall?
The smallest free-living cell with a cell wall is Mycoplasma, a type of bacteria. Mycoplasma have a unique cell wall structure called a "trilaminar membrane" rather than the typical peptidoglycan cell wall found in most bacteria.
Which is the smallest organisms that lack cell wall and it is smallest living cell which can survive without oxygen?
Which is the smallest living cell which lacks cell wall and can survive without oxygen
What do Mycoplasma sp and Mycobacteria sp.have in common?
Both stain poorly with the Gram stain.However Mycoplasma has no cell wall while Mycobacterium has a thick cell wall of mycolic acids.
How can a mycoplasma be recognized?
Mycoplasma organisms do not contain a cell wall. Thus, traditional cell staining techniques (which require the presence of a cell wall), do not highlight the organism. A special staining technique is required for visualization.
What do Mycoplasma bacteria lack?
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic, with some considered to be pathogenic in humans.
What group of antibiotics would mycoplasma be resistant to?
Mycoplasma lack cell walls. Therefore, any antibiotic that targets the cell wall of bacteria would be ineffective to mycoplasma. Examples are beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin. Beta-lactam antibiotics target the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall.
What lacks a cell wall borrelia mycoplasma mycobacteriu clostridium nocardia?
mycobacterium
What is the difference between mycoplasma and gram positive?
there is a slight, but important difference, between these two forms of bacteria. Mycoplasma are cell wall deficient bacteria that have ALWAYS been cell wall deficient. bacteria are more insidious than Mycoplasma because they are able to shape shift between a normal bacterial state, with a cell wall, and a cell wall deficient form. Organisms such as Borrelia Bergdorferi, are l-form because they actually exist in multiple different forms, including a cell wall deficient form. same with chlamydia pneumonia. Mycoplasma bacteria never have a cell wall, therefore they are not technically classified as l-form.
Would penicillin be very effective against Mycoplasma?
No- because penicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis and Mycoplasmas don't have a cell wall.
Is mycoplasma genitalium a bacteria or a virus?
Mycoplasma genitalium is a type of bacteria. It is a small parasitic bacterium that lacks a cell wall.
