Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Mycoplasmas or mollicutes are the simplest and the smallest of free living prokaryotes, they can survive without oxygen. Mycoplasmas are heterotrophic in their nutrition. Some of them live as saprophytes but majority parasitise plants and animals. The parasitic habit is due to the inability of the most mycoplasmas to synthesise the required growth factors
