Cell wall structure of bacteria. All types of bacteria contain a cell membrane surrounded by a PGN-containing layer. LTA and LAM are inserted into the cell membrane of gram-positive bacteria. LPS forms the outer layer of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. The mycobacteria also contain a carbohydrate shell, but not all bacteria contain a capsule.
