What is Bacterial Cell Wall Structures and Functions about?

Prokaryotic cells such as bacteria come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They have rigid cell walls containing peptidoglycan and may possess surface structures like flagella, pili, or a capsule. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer while Gram-negatives have a thinner peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides. These differences in cell structure allow bacteria to adapt to different environments.
