Mycoplasma contamination is prevalent in cell culture labs: in one study, researchers identified mycoplasma contamination in 11% of the 10,000 cell lines they tested (Olarerin-George et al. 2015).

While mycoplasma are somewhat commensal in nature, they can have severe effects on cell proliferation and culture health. This, in turn, affects the experimental results and can skew scientific ...

Many microbes can contaminate mammalian cell cultures, but some of the most worrisome are mycoplasmas, members of a family of tiny bacteria that threaten cell viability and alter cell behavior. Now ...
