Abstract
The scanning electron microscope was utilized to observe the morphology of the thermophilic, acidophilic mycoplasma, Thermoplasma acidophilum. Upon examination of the surface morphology, the size and shape of this unusual mycoplasma revealed its similarity to the other mycoplasmas that have been investigated.
