Solution
The correct option is C Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma are the smallest living cells known and can survive without oxygen (facultative anaerobes). They completely lack a cell wall. Many mycoplasma are pathogenic in animals and plants. Example: Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Bacillus and Pseudomonas are bacterial genera while Nostoc is a cyanobacterium. They are bound by a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan.
