Which of the following is not true of the Gram-positive envelope?

Which of the following is not true of the Gram-positive envelope? Select one:

A. Has teichoic in its glycocalyx

B. Has small periplasmic space

C. Has thick peptidoglycan wall

D. Has lipopolysaccharide in its glycocalyx

Solutions

Expert Solution

The wrong statement is the gram positive has lipopolysaccharide in its glycocalyx . It is only present in gram negative bacteria only.

Teichoic acid is present in glycocalyx of gram positive bacteria.

It has also small periplasmic space .

Gram positive bacteria also have thick peptidoglycan wall.
