Bacterial glycobiology: rhamnose-containing cell wall polysaccharides in Gram-positive bacteria
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2016 The composition of the Gram-positive cell wall is typically described as containing peptidoglycan, proteins and essential secondary cell wall structures called teichoic acids, which comprise approximately half of the cell wall mass.

Surface Polysaccharide Extraction and Quantification
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Gram-negative bacterial cells possess two membranes - the inner cytoplasmic membrane and the outer membrane. The two membranes are distinct in their composition; the inner membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, whereas the outer membrane (OM) is
