The peptidoglycan layers which are present in the gram-positive bacteria are interspersed densely with the anionic glycopolymers that are known as wall teichoic acids or simply, threads of teichoic acid.
These glycopolymers play a very crucial role in the determination of the cell shape, regulation of the cell division, and also other fundamental aspects of the physiology of gram-positive bacteria.
Wall teichoic acids are also important in the process of pathogenesis and play important roles in the antibiotic resistance.
The Boll Weevil was an insect that destroyed crops in Alabama in Georgia. The reason they were effect at different times is because they had different crops and the Boll Weevil migrated at different times.
