For maximum reliability the number of organisms in the test suspension must exceed a critical minimum value. Differences in efficiency of glucose utilisation were demonstrated between species of Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-8-3-451
