The main difference between a gram-positive and a gram-negative bacteria, is that; a. Gram-positive has an extra outer layer of LPS on its cell wall Ob. Gram-negative has an extra outer layer of LPS on its cell wall O. Gram-negative does not get any color, when stained d. Gram-positive are too small to be visible under the microscope
