Term ID
GO:0009276
Synonyms
  • 1-2nm peptidoglycan-based cell wall
  • cell wall inner membrane
Definition
The peptidoglycan layer of the Gram-negative cell envelope. In Gram-negative cells the peptidoglycan is relatively thin (1-2nm) and is linked to the outer membrane by lipoproteins. In Gram-negative cells the peptidoglycan is too thin to retain the primary stain in the Gram staining procedure and therefore cells appear red after Gram stain. 0815108893
