The cell wall of archaea does not have peptidoglycan layer. They consists of pseudo peptidoglycan, glycoproteins, pure proteins and polysaccharide cell wall. Ether bonds are present in the cell wall of archae.
Cell wall of bacteria:
Bacteria cell wall contains peptidoglycan layer and cross linked by the polysaccharide chains. The cell wall constitute of D and L amino acids especially, D-alanine and D-glutamic acid. Ester bonds are presents in the cell wall of bacteria.
Archaea<span> and </span>bacteria<span> have generally similar </span>cell<span> structure, but </span>cell<span> composition and organization set the </span>archaea<span> apart. Like </span>bacteria<span>, </span>archaea<span> lack interior membranes and organelles. Like </span>bacteria<span>, </span>archaea cell<span> membranes are usually bounded by a </span>cell<span> wall and they swim using one or more flagella.</span>
