Expert Solution
Step 1

Depending upon the structure of cell wall, bacteria are divided into two major classes. The basis of this division is Gram staining. Gram staining is a differential staining method used to classify bacteria as either Gram positive or Gram negative. The main differentiating characteristic feature is that gram positive bacteria have thicker peptidoglycan layer in comparison to gram negative bacteria.
