The right answer is It has peptidoglycan.

Eubacteria are not multicellular beings, but are unicellular.

Eubacteria certainly have a cell wall, but we must not forget that plant cells also have a cell wall, so this is not really a feature.

Eubacteria are microorganisms but there are eukaryotic microorganisms, so it is not a characteristic.


Peptidoglycan (or murine, or mucocomplex, or mucopeptide) is a characteristic component of the bacterial wall (not found elsewhere) maintaining the shape of cells and providing mechanical protection against osmotic pressure. It forms a thin layer in Gram-negative bacteria and a thick layer in Gram-positive bacteria.
