Discussion
Teichoic acid present in Gram-positive bacteria can bind to which ion?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Mg ions
Teichoic acids are polymers of glycerol or ribitol phosphate, so the wall carries a strong negative charge. That charge binds divalent cations, magnesium in particular, holding a reserve of them at the cell surface where the membrane enzymes need them.
