Discussion
Which of the following organisms has sterols in its cytoplasmic membrane?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma is the exception among bacteria: having no cell wall, it strengthens its membrane with sterols taken up from the host. That is why it needs a sterol-containing medium to grow, and why it is naturally resistant to penicillin.
