Description: | Has an obligate parasitic lifestyle. Completely lacks a cell wall.
It is only surrounded by a cytoplasmic membrane.
The etiologic agent of primary atypical pneumonia can also cause sore throats and bronchitis. As a surface parasite, it attaches to the host's respiratory epithelium by means of a differentiated terminal structure, the attachment organelle. |
Properties: | Number of membranes : 1 Presence of a flagella : No Number of inteins : 0 |
