Cyanobacteria have ________ cell wall?
Correct answer: B. Gram - ve.
- A. Gram +ve.
- B. Gram - ve.
- C. Acid fast
- D. Cellulose rich
Explanation
Cyanobacteria have a Gram-negative-type cell envelope, with a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane. The likely mistake is choosing Gram-positive because cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis like some familiar Gram-positive-looking organisms, but their envelope structure is Gram-negative.
