No, gram positive bacteria do not have lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
Gram positive bacteria contain more peptidoglycan than gram negative bacteria which is the substance responsible for the increased strength of gram positive bacterias cell walls therefore making them more resistant to heat. Gram negative do contain peptidoglycan but much, much less
Gram-negative bacteria have a lipopolysaccharide layer (LPS) outside the peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall. The LPS layer serves as an endotoxin and is an essential component of the gram-negative cell envelope.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are large molecules found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They consist of lipids and sugars and play a role in the structure and stability of the bacterial outer membrane. LPS can also trigger immune responses in the host, causing inflammation.
Gram was a scientist who invented a technique called Gram staining by which bacteria can be colorized and divided into two groups.Gram positiveappearance: blue to transfer to purpleStructure: Have thick layer of peptidoglycan over inner cytoplasmic membrane.They lack LPS-lipopolysaccharides.Gram negativeappearance: pink to transfer to redStructure: In gram negative bacteria the peptidoglycan layer is thinner and is located between space of the outer and inner cytoplasmic membrane.The cell wall contains LPS, which make them virulent.
The part of the bacterial cell that appears to play the most important role in determining whether an organism if gram-positive or not is the cell wall. it is determined by whether or not it retains the stain during testing.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are large molecules found on the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. They consist of a lipid portion (lipid A) attached to a long polysaccharide chain. LPS can trigger strong immune responses in mammals and are considered endotoxins due to their ability to cause harmful effects when released into the bloodstream.
Gram positive bacteria cell walls have a thick layer of Peptidoglycan and no periplasmic space. Gram negative bacteria cell walls have inner and outter cytoplasmic membranes with a periplasmic space in between. these also have a thin layer of Peptidoglycan. The outter cytoplasmic membrane of gram negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides.
Gram-negative bacteria have a lipopolysaccharide layer (LPS) outside the peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall. The LPS layer serves as an endotoxin and is an essential component of the gram-negative cell envelope.
Penicillins have a bacteriocidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria. In Gram-positive cells, peptidoglycan makes up as much as 90% of the thick, compact cell wall, and is the outermost layer. Penicillins are not effective against Gram-negative bacteria, which have cell walls in which peptidoglycan is not the outermost layer, but that lies between the plasma membrane and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) outer membrane. Penicillin cannot access the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative cells.
The gram positive cell wall contains a thicker layer of peptydoglacans than that of gram negative. the gram negative bacteria doesn't have a LPS(Lipopolysaccharides) covering outside the cell wall like the gram negatives.their is a periplasmal space between peptidoglycan cell wall and the cell membrane. During Gram's staining the CVI complex doesnt leave the gram positive bacteria because of the thick layer of peptydoglycanes.
The major component of the bacterial cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria is LPS, Lipopolysaccharide. LPS helps protect the membrane from certain kinds of chemical attack and greatly contributes to the structural integrity of the bacteria.

A bacteriophage recognizes its host by its tail fibers binding to chemical groups associated with receptors on the surface of the host cell. Some of these receptors are transport proteins, pili, flagella and lipopolysaccharides. As you can see they have multiple jobs in the cell.

Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that do not retain crystal violet dye in the Gram staining protocol.[1] In a Gram stain test, a counterstain (commonly safranin) is added after the crystal violet, coloring all Gram-negative bacteria with a red or pink color. The test itself is useful in classifying two distinct types of bacteria based on the structural differences of their bacterial cell walls. Gram-positive bacteria will retain the crystal violet dye when washed in a decolorizing solution.The pathogenic capability of Gram-negative bacteria is often associated with certain components of Gram-negative cell walls, in particular, the lipopolysaccharide (also known as LPS or endotoxin) layer.[1] In humans, LPS triggers an innate immune response characterized by cytokine production and immune system activation. Inflammation is a common result of cytokine (from the Greek cyto, cell and kinesis, movement) production, which can also produce host toxicity.
Endogenous endotoxin refers to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are produced by the body's own cells, particularly gut bacteria. These endotoxins can trigger an immune response and contribute to inflammation and other health issues when released into the bloodstream.
