thin layer of peptidoglycan, but outside this layer there is also another outer bilayer membrane(external to the cell wall) composed of two different layers.
inner layer: phospholipids and proteins
outer layer: lippopolysaccharide/LPS (endotoxin). when these cells die they release a lipid which causes symptoms.
