Mycoplasma contamination is a significant problem for mammalian cell culture. Reports estimate mycoplasma contamination in up to 35% of all cell cultures. Unlike bacterial or fungal contaminations, mycoplasma cannot be detected by visual inspection and may not noticeably affect cell culture growth rates. However, mycoplasma infection has been shown to alter DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, introduce chromosomal aberrations and cause alterations or modifications of host cell plasma membrane antigens.
