Mycoplasma (specifically Mycoplasma gallisepticum) are the smallest known living cells, measuring only about 0.1 to 0.3 micrometers in diameter. They are unique because they lack a cell wall, allowing them to survive without oxygen and take on various shapes.
For comparison:
• Red blood cells: Around 6–8 micrometers.
• White blood cells: Around 10–15 micrometers.
• Amoeba: Much larger single-celled organisms, often ranging from 200 to 500 micrometers.
