mycoplasman.

Brit.

/ˌmʌɪkə(ʊ)ˈplazmə/, U.S.

/ˈˌmaɪkoʊˈˌplæzmə/

Inflections: Plural mycoplasmas, mycoplasmata Brit.

/ˌmʌɪkə(ʊ)ˈplazmətə/, U.S.

/ˌmaɪkəˈplæzmətə/.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: myco- comb. form, plasma n.

Etymology: < myco- comb. form + plasma n.; in sense 1 after German Mykoplasma (B. Frank Ueber die Pilzsymbiose der Leguminoseen (1890) 14); in sense 2 after scientific Latin Mycoplasma (J. Nowak 1929, in Ann. de l'Inst. Pasteur 43 1349).

Microbiology.

1. = mycoplasm n. 1. Now disused or historical.

1895 Amer. Naturalist 29 899 The author cannot agree with Frank that the Y-form consists of broken down mycoplasma, for, upon being placed in hanging drops, these Y's break up into motile bacilli.

1904 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 196 31 The hypothetical mixture of cell-protoplasm and infective substance he [sc. Eriksson] terms ‘mycoplasma’.

1911 Bot. Gaz. 60 415 Eriksson's main contention is that the fungus is distributed in the mycoplasma state with the seed.

2. Any microorganism of the genus Mycoplasma, comprising very small pleomorphic prokaryotes which are bounded by a trilaminar membrane and lack a cell wall, and which are parasites and pathogens of humans, other mammals, and birds; (in form Mycoplasma) the genus itself. Also: any member of the order Mycoplasmatales or class Mollicutes, which includes this and several related genera. Originally called pleuropneumonia-like organism, PPLO.
