Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycoplasmas have the smallest known genome of any free-living organism, and thus contain less DNA than most other prokaryotes. They lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls, do not form a mycelium, do not possess elaborate internal membrane systems, and are not susceptible to penicillin.
