1. "Found only in Gram negative bacteria and is responsible for endotoxin activity."
Lipid A is part of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in Gram - negative bacteria and is the endotoxin - causing component.
Endoflagella are the structures that form axial filaments in spirochetes and help in giving them their characteristic shape.
Mycobacterium species (like Mycobacterium tuberculosis) are known to be acid - fast bacteria due to their cell wall composition.
