Diagram of a bacterial cell wall polymer showing parallel glycan strands (gray rods) with periodic sugar residues (orange) joined by short peptide bridges (colored beads), forming a mesh. In microbiology and biochemistry, this macromolecule is a component of the bacterial cell envelope, external to the cytoplasmic membrane. It consists of repeating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) units cross-linked by oligopeptides, conferring mechanical strength and resistance to osmotic lysis in prokaryotes.
