BLACKDEATH2202 is right. These are videos of Mycoplasma mobile. They were originally found on fish gills.

@EatMySchwartz61 I dont think that this is mycoplasma, its motibilty and morphology doens't indicate that its myciplasma at all

[EatMySchwartz61]

@ro0o0o0o0o0cky possibly a hanging drop slide?

mycoplasma on media ? u kiddin!

[plasturion]

it looks like couple of flys.

Is this under an electron microscope? I want to see Mycoplasma fermentans.... it suppost to be a fungus in the blood.

None of the mycoplasma i know of move this rapid (or even move at all). ive seen and cultivated numerous mycoplasma and acholeplasma. after 7 days incubation on Mycoplasma selective agar they look like fried eggs as described in literature (with a microscope, but tiny dots are visible on the agar!). im 95% sure these are NOT mycoplasma.

I am rather sure, that theese are in fact Mycoplasmas; most probably M. mobile due to the fast movement. Many mycoplasmas exhibit a unique cell shape, which is mainly described as flask- or pear-shaped. Look at the video properly, the cell are definitely pear-shaped. Secondly some mycoplasmas, including M. gallisepticum and mobile, have the ability to glide on solid surfaces. I have seen similar videos on scientific conferences with M. mobile.

You're right that these are not Mycoplasma, but they were developed in nature long before man ever made a lab. I have grown them in a lab in/on the appropriate media and they are barely visible by light microscopy, being the size of large viruses right at the resolution of the light microscope. You need an electron microscope to view them...these are NOT Mycoplasma. Roger P. Orcutt, Ph.D. (Microbiology)

This shit is man made! mycoplasma was developed in a lab.
