Question

The covalent bond which links the cell well of gram positive bacteria containing two to modified sugar-N- acetymuramic acid (NAM ) and N- acetyl glucosamine (NAG)is

Answer 1

Answer:

Peptidoglycan

Explanation:

The peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall is a crystal lattice structure formed from linear chains of two alternating amino sugars, namely N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc or NAGA) and N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc or NAMA). The alternating sugars are connected by a β-(1,4)-glycosidic bond.
