AB Mycoplasmas  are  prokaryotes  of  the  class  Mollicutes.  Their  size  (150–350  nm)  is  closer  to  that  of  viruses  than  to  that  of  bacteria.  Unlike  viruses,  however,  mycoplasmas  grow  in  cell-free  culture  media;  in  fact,  they  are  the  smallest  organisms  capable  of  independent  replication.
