P.16478 left column bottom paragraph: "Mycoplasmas have no cell wall and are among the smallest known cells, with M. pneumoniae having a cell volume only ≈˜5% of that of Escherichia coli." Taking E. coli volume as ˜1µm^3 (BNID 100004) this gives ˜0.05µm^3 (see PMID 21772259 p.1 right column top paragraph) |
