Summary Introduction
Tenericutes is a phylum of bacteria, which comprised of the class Mollicutes. Mollicutes are bacteria that do not possess a cell wall. This group is often known as Mycoplasmas. Mycoplasma, a prominent genus comprised of human pathogens, is the best-described genus in the phylum.

3b. Which phyla have growth by molting?
While all members of the phyla we’re considering this week are in the bilateria (have bilateral symmetry and three tissue layers) – they also differ drastically.
From your perspective:
I) which groups considered in this unit are the most similar and what connects them?
II) Which groups are most distinct and what separates them?
**The phyla group mentioned in this question is circled in red
2) Identify the synapomorphies that unite the non-bilaterian phyla, as well as the protostome phyla, and the deuterostome phyla
3) Characterize each phylum of non-bilaterian and protostome phyla with their synapomorphies and differences
