Which is the smallest living cell PPLO or mycoplasm?

Mycoplasma is also called as PPLO (Pleuro Pneumonia Like organisms). They are the smallest living organisms on earth, they also lack cell wall and can survive without oxygen.

Mycoplasma and PPLO(Pleuro Pneumonia Like Organisms) are the same. They lack their cell wall, thus are pleiomorphic and not affected by antibiotics targeting cell walls (eg. Penicillin) they can also survive without oxygen.

These are the smallest living organism. 

Also called 'bacteria with their coats off' and 'Jokers of plant kingdom'.

 

Hope this helped with complete info.

Then please do give a thumbsup! 😊👍
