Hi Robin,
Here's the answer from our local mycoplasma expert: In serumfree media the
activity will decrease by 5 - 6 logs. This was not tested in the presence
of serum. If your question relates to inactivation of serum and the
concomitant killing of mycoplasma, he suggested prolonged freezing of the
serum at -20. This will take care of the little buggers very effectively
