Hi Brian (Tindall),
You mentioned mycolic acids arranged in the outer membrane of
some gram-positive bacteria, which might indicate that they are actually
diderms (rather than monoderms).
However, thus far I could only find mention of mycolic acids in
their cell wall, not in an outer membrane which would be homologous with
the diderm outer membrane. Or am I missing something here? Need a
literature citation to verify that mycolic acids exist in a true outer
membrane.
--------Thanks,
Ken
