⏹Prokaryotes are identified as gram-positive if they have a multiple layered matrix of peptidoglycan forming the cell wall.
⏹Crystal violet, the primary stain of the Gram stain procedure, is readily retained and stabilized within the matrix, causing gram-positive bacteria to appear purple.
⏹The class Actinobacteria comprises the high G+C gram-positive bacteria which have more than 50% of guanine and cytosine nucleotides in their D. N. A.
⏹The class Bacilli comprises low G+C gram-positive bacteria which have less than 50% of guanine and cytosine in their D. N. A.
⏹Actinobacteria is the taxonomic name of the class high G+C gram-positive bacteria. This class includes the genera Actinomyces, Arthrobacter, Corynebacterium,Frankia,Gardnerella,Micrococcus,Microbacterium.
⏹ Examples of high G+C gram-positive bacteria are Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis; M.Leprae, which causes leprosy(Hansen's disease) and Corynebacterum diptheriae which causes diphtheria.
⏹Low G+C gram-positive bacteria include rod-shaped and coccus-shaped species including the genera Bacillus and Staphylococcus.

⏹Gam-negative bacteria are those which do not retain crystal violet stain .
⏹These are found everywhere, in virtually all environment on Earth that support life.
⏹An inner cell membrane is present (cytoplasmic).
⏹They do not form spores.
⏹Teichoic acid or lipoteichoic acid is absent.
⏹A thin peptidoglycan layer is present.
⏹Examples of gram-negative bacteria are Escherichia coli as well as many pathogenic bacteria.
