Best Answer

The glyco-callyx (sugar-protein) covering of the eukaryotic Cell Coat has much less strength than the mostly cellulose (comprised of strongly bound - bacterially released - glucose) based Cell Wall of the prokaryotic bacteria.

Dna extraction is more difficult in prokaryotes due to the tough Cell Wall.

How does the cell wall of a plant cell differ from the cell wall of a bacteria cell?

Plant cell walls are made of carbohydrates like cellulose. Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. Hope this helps!

What is the functions of lysozyme in DNA extraction?

Usually DNA is obtained from bacterial cultures. To break the bacterial cell wall, there are several options (e.g., sonications, change in atmospheric pressure, etc.), however, there is another and milder method that many molecular biologists prefer in order to protect the DNA content the more possible, especially when the DNA that is wanted is related to plasmids. To do this, researchers uses the enzyme lysozyme in a coctail to digest cell walls, because lysozyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of polysaccharides that occur in the glycopeptide layer of bacterial cell walls. After lysozyme digestion, a mild detergent is added (e.g., SDS) to finish the cell wall breakdown.
