Question

What organism has a complex carbohydrate cell well but can gram stain as well?

Accepted Answer

Complex carbohydrate cell wall (chitin, glucan or mannan) defines the organism as a fungus Gram stain can also be used diagnostically to differentiate some fungi as their thick cell wall makes them retain the gram stain just like gram (+) bacteriaParasites  → no cell wallPrions → infectious proteinsProkaryotes → peptidoglycan cell wallViruses → acellular
