The values from our work ranged from 24·0 to 35·7 moles%. There were small clusters at about 35% and 32% but the rest of the values ranged continuously from 24·0% to 30·5%. From reports in the literature, the values for the Mycoplasma group ranged from 22·8 to 41·0. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-56-2-131
