peptidoglycans

Does anyone know the structure of cell wall in cocci? Or do they have all kinds of cell walls?24.184.234.24 (talk) 20:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)LeucineZipper[reply]

Cocci can be either gram negative or gram positive meaning they have a thick peptidoglycan layer or a thin one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KauaiMD (talk • contribs) 23:26, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency

This page says there are three morphologies, while http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote#Morphology_of_prokaryotic_cells says there are four 131.227.208.41 (talk) 00:43, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Polysemy

So bacillus, streptococcus, staphylococcus can mean either a class/family or a morphology? How do you distinguish between the meanings? Do you say "these Staphylococci appear as diplococci"? --176.4.113.81 (talk) 09:03, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalisation for starters --kupirijo (talk) 07:29, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Liddell and Scott reference

The primary meaning of coccus (κόκκος) in Greek is grain/seed. Berry is secondary. --kupirijo (talk) 07:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How is cocci pronounced?

Is the 'cc' pronounced like an 'x'? Or like just a hard 'k'? Would be nice if there was a pronunciation / IPA in here. QueensanditsCrazy (talk) 17:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
