Members of the genus Mycoplasma have no cell wall, making them somewhat unique in the microbial world. How do they prevent osmotic lysis?
a) They only survive in isotonic areas where they're not subjected to osmotic pressures.
b) Their plasma membrane is rich in sterols to help provide added strength and rigidity.
c) They possess a capsule that provides the same protective benefit as a cell wall structure.
d) They possess an intricate S-layer outside of their plasma membrane to provide rigidity.
