Q1.

Bacteria have cell wall made of a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid connected by $\beta$-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Lysozyme, an enzyme, cleaves the glycosidic bond and disrupts the cell wall structure.

In an experiment, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which differ in terms of cell envelope and peptidoglycan thickness, are treated with lysozyme and subsequently placed in a hypotonic solution. The correct statement about the effect of the treatment is:

(A)
Only Gram-negative bacteria are lysed.
(B)
Gram-positive bacteria are lysed, but not Gram-negative bacteria.
(C)
Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are lysed.
(D)
Neither Gram-positive nor Gram-negative bacteria are lysed.
