bacteria
Bacteria that have a thick peptido glycan cell wall,
gram positive bacteria and no outer membrane. They stain very darkly
(purple) in Gram stain.
Bacteria that have a thin peptidoglycan cell wall
covered by an outer plasma membrane. They stain
gram negative bacteria very lightly (pink) in Gram stain. Gram-negative
bacteria are typically more resistant to antibiotics than
Gram-positive bacteria.
