This article should be more similar to the Gram-negative article. Previous unsigned comment made by 70.161.65.167
- I agree, if I get any spare time I will attempt some improvements. If anyone feels like a stab it, go ahead. Mushintalk 23:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
This article has no practical value and must be redone...I agree. --Sugarskane 04:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- It has a lot of value actually. No article is ever complete, and this one is just less complete than some others. Mushintalk 12:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Correct, no article is ever done, but it still needs to be redone -- it's more a series of GP bacteria than an explanation of what it means to be GP. --Sugarskane 15:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Mushin is right, this is actually very important. I know I'm replying to a two-year old message. Some of you probably aren't even active. I know I had to look this up for science fair. DarkestMoonlight (talk) 14:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
the Gram Negative page states "Many species of Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic," -- are gram-positive species less likely to be pathogenic? (I would consider this very useful information for someone who is not familiar with the subject). Rdchambers 08:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Classification - OM
I removed the following section from the classfication section (at least temporarily) as it seemed somewhat confusing and was unreferenced. I will look into reworking it and adding it back in, if someone else wants to look at it or revert that change, feel free. Schu1321 (talk) 22:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- "If the second membrane (of Gram-negative bacteria) is a derived condition, the two may have been basal among the bacteria; otherwise they are probably a relatively recent monophyletic group. They have been considered as possible ancestors for the archaeans and eukaryotes, both because they are unusual in lacking the second membrane and because of various biochemical similarities such as the presence of sterols."
