Bacterial outer membrane
The
bacterial outer membrane
is found in
gram-negative bacteria
. Its composition is distinct from that of the inner
cytoplasmic
cell membrane
- among other things, the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of many gram-negative bacteria includes a complex
lipopolysaccharide
whose lipid portion acts as an
endotoxin
- and in some bacteria such as
E. coli
it is linked to the cell's
peptidoglycan
by
Braun's lipoprotein
.
