Which of the following may be most likely to be missing from a gram-positive bacterium?

  • A.Penicillin binding protein
  • B.Peptidoglycan
  • C.Lipopolysaccharide
  • D.Phospholipid bilayer membrane

Answer: C

Correct answer: Lipopolysaccharide

LPS is a component of the outer membrane, which gram-positive bacteria do not have - so it is the one structure on the list they lack. Peptidoglycan they have in abundance, penicillin-binding proteins are the enzymes that build it, and every cell has a phospholipid membrane.
