Vedclass · Answer

(A) The cell wall of $Gram-positive$ bacteria is characterized by a thick,multi-layered structure of peptidoglycan (mucopeptide),which typically accounts for $20-80 	ext{ nm}$ of the cell wall thickness.In contrast,$Gram-negative$ bacteria possess a much thinner layer of peptidoglycan,usually only $2-3 	ext{ nm}$ thick,covered by an outer membrane.Therefore,the concentration and absolute amount of mucopeptide are significantly higher in $Gram-positive$ bacteria.

The content of mucopeptide (peptidoglycan) in the cell wall is higher in which of the following?
