What are the 2 types of cell wall? Differentiate.
Gram positive- to identify bacteria the it gives primarystain, violet or blue
Gram negative-secondary stain red or pink
to identify bacteria the
it gives primarystain, violet or blue
Gram positive
secondary stain red or pink
Gram negative
It surrounds the plasma membrane and protects cell from environmental stress.
