Peptidoglycan (pep-tid-o-gly-can) is a molecule found only in the cell walls of bacteria. prokaryotes with protection from the environment. Article Summary: Amount and location of the peptidoglycan molecule in the prokaryotic cell wall determines whether a bacterium is Gram-positive or Gram-negative. You have free access to a large collection of materials used in two college-level introductory microbiology courses (8-week & 16-week).
Gram-positive is a result of the Gram staining technique, developed by Danish scientist Hans Christian Gram (1853 - 1938). Bacteria can have two types of cell walls. Gram-Po â¦ sitive bacteria have a relatively thick layer of peptidoglycan. Gram-negative bacteria have a much thinner layer of peptidoglycan.There are 4 basic steps to a Gram-staining.   # The smear is flooded with a primary stain (such as crystal violet).acteria can have two types of cell walls.
