Muramic acid is a peptidoglycan found in the cell wall of certain bacteria

The cell wall of the eubacteria is Peptidoglycan with muramic acid while the archaebacteria has a variety of types and with no muramic acid.

pencillin disrupts the cell wall of the bacteria by transpeptidization. it breaks the linkage between the NAM(N-acetyl muramic acid) & NAG(N- acetyl guanosine)

praveen

because all gram nagative bactria does not have all nutrients in their cell membrane and muramic acid & some enzymes also doesn't have for their spore forming & protectein....
