In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and is essential to the survival of many bacteria. Bacteria have been classified into Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the structure of the cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria possess thick cell wall consisting of many layers of peptidoglycan and teichoic acids. Gram-negative bacteria have relatively thin cell wall consisting of few layers of peptidoglycan.

What is the difference between pilus and conjugation?

A pilus is a protein appendage found on the surface of bacteria that helps in attachment to surfaces or other cells. Conjugation is a method of genetic transfer in bacteria where a plasmid is transferred from one bacterium to another through direct physical contact facilitated by a pilus. In essence, pilus is a structure, while conjugation is a process of genetic exchange.
