M5 PART 10 Flashcards
- Smallest, free-living organisms in nature and self-replicating on laboratory media
- Highly pleomorphic because they lack cell wall
- Bounded by a triple layered “unit membrane” that contains a sterol
- Completely resistant to penicillin
- Glucose – source of energy
- Poorly stain in gram staining
