#Question id: 40184

#Applied Microbiology

Choose the correct option regarding the bacterial cell wall.

Assertion (A): N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) is a crucial component of the bacterial cell wall found in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Reason (R): NAM residues serve as the attachment point for the peptide chains that cross-link the peptidoglycan layers.

Read the following statements regarding the bacterial cell envelope:

Statement I: The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which consists of Lipid A, Core polysaccharide, and O-antigen.

Statement II: Lysozyme breaks down the bacterial cell wall by cleaving the glycosidic bond between Lipid A and the Core polysaccharide.
