Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycobacterium is characterized by its acid-fastness, which means that the bacteria retain the dye even when treated with acidic or alcohol solutions. This is due to the high concentration of mycolic acid in their cell walls. They are not known for having teichoic acids in their cell membranes, they are not typically soil parasites, and they are not gram negative (they have a thick, waxy cell wall that makes them appear gram positive).
