Answer 2

Answer:

Mycloplasmas are the smallest, wall-less free living prokayotes belonging to class-Mollicutes. There were first discovered by Pasteur in 1843 when he was studying the causal organisms of pleuropneumonia in catties.

He named it as Pleuropneumonia like organisms (PPLO) but failed to isolate them in pure cultures. These were first isolated by two French bacteriologists E. Nocard and E.R. Roux in 1898 from pleural fluids of catties affected with pleuropneumonia and these organisms were named as Mycoplasma in 1929 by Nowar.
