Explanation:
The cell envelope comprises the inner cell membrane and the cell wall of a bacterium. In gram-negative bacteria an outer membrane is also included.[1] This envelope is not present in the Mollicutes where the cell wall is absent.
Bacterial cell envelopes fall into two major categories: a gram-positive type and a gram-negative type, distinguished by Gram staining. Either type may have an enclosing capsule of polysaccharide for extra protection. As a group these are known as polysaccharide encapsulated bacteria.
