Cell wall- 

  • Rigid solid covering present between plasma membrane and glycocalyx.
  • The cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan.
  • Peptidoglycan is a polysaccharide made of two glucose derivatives N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM), alternated in long chains. The chains are cross-linked to one another by means of four amino acids i.e. L-alanine, D-glutamine, L-lysine or meso-diaminopimelic acid (DPA), and D-alanine.
  • On the basis of the structure of the cell wall, bacteria can be Gram positive or Gram negative 
  • The cell wall provides structural support to the cell, maintaining the shape of the cell and it also protects the cell.
