d) phospholipid

What functions to anchor peptidoglycan to the cytoplasmic membrane in Gram positive bacteria, but not Gram negative ones?

a) Teichoic acid--------------ANSWER

b) Lipoteichoic acid

c) flagellin

d) phospholipid

EXPLANATION

Teichoic acids :

THEY are found inside the cell mass of most Gram-positive microscopic organisms.

Teichoic acids are not found in Gram-negative microscopic organisms.

They can be covalently connected to N-acetylmuramic corrosive or a terminal D-alanine in the tetrapeptide crosslinkage between N-acetylmuramic corrosive units of the peptidoglycan layer, .

they can be tied down in the cytoplasmic film with a lipid grapple.

They are tied down to the lipid film are alluded to as lipoteichoic acids (LTAs), though teichoic acids that are covalently bound to peptidoglycan are alluded to as divider teichoic acids
