Gram-positive cell walls are thicker (20-80nm), more permeable, and less resistant, whereas Gram-negative walls are thinner (8-10nm), less permeable, and more resistant.
Las paredes celulares Gram-positivas son más gruesas (20-80nm), más permeables y menos resistentes, mientras que las Gram-negativas son más delgadas (8-10nm), menos permeables y más resistentes.
