Polymers Present in the Cell Wall of Bacteria | Microbiology
In this article we will discuss about the polymers present in the cell wall of bacteria. Apart from murein, several other polymers are present in the cell wall of bacteria. In Gram- positive bacteria, the thick, rigid covering of murein is surrounded by polymers, like teichoic acids and teichuronic acid. Teichoic acids are hydrophilic linear negatively charged molecules and they [...]
