Mycoplasma contamination is one of the most common and major problems in cell culture for research laboratories and industries. A conservative estimate states that around 15-35% of all continuous cell cultures are contaminated with mycoplasma. Mycoplasma is one type of the smallest and simplest self-replicating prokaryotes, which can’t be detected by visual inspection and gradually effect cell growth and alter DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis of host cells.
