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.
