Which of the following cell wall component can effectively defend against lysozyme?(a) Peptidoglycan(b) Pseudomurein(c) Chitin(d) Biogenic opal

Answer» Correct answer is (b) Pseudomurein

The best I can explain: Pseudomurein otherwise known as pseudopeptidoglycan is one of the cell wall components of archaea bacteria. They resemble peptidoglycan layer in function and structure but differ in chemical composition. Lysozyme is a defense mechanism in higher animals and they cannot defend against bacteria containing pseudomurein cell wall.
