What are Mycoplasma?
Mycoplasma, the most common of contaminants found in cell cultures, are prokaryotic organisms. They can cause drastic changes in cell metabolism, thereby negatively influencing the growth and proliferation of cells. They rob cells of essential nutriments and cause diverse forms of cellular damage which in turn may lead to significant errors in and distortion of laboratory research results.
Mycoplasma are the smallest bacteria discovered to date, so small that they can easily pass through the typical sterile filtration processes, which are presently used to remove bacterial or fungal contaminants. They have no cell walls and therefore cannot be eliminated from cell cultures with antibiotics such as penicillin which target cell wall synthesis.
Therefore you need a special reagent such as MycoXpert!
