Most bacteria have a peptidoglycan layer between the inner and outer membranes (reviewed in [Typas et al., 2012][1]). The cyanobacterial endosymbiont that gave rise to plastids would have contained such a peptidoglycan wall including d-amino acids. Indeed, peptidoglycan can be visualized by electron
