Abstract
Abstract Bacterial walls are constructed from a variety of macromolecules and polymers to provide an outer skin around the protoplast, encompassing the cell. In Gram‐positive bacteria, the cell wall consists of peptidoglycan and associated secondary polymers, whereas in Gram‐negative bacteria it consists of an outer membrane and an underlying thin peptidoglycan layer.
