Abstract
Most bacteria and archaea constantly face changing and often hostile environments. Therefore, their cell envelopes must provide adequate protection against physical, chemical and biological stresses while allowing an adequate influx of nutrients and efflux of waste products and signaling molecules. As bacterial and archaeal cell envelopes differ fundamentally in their composition and structure, they will be discussed separately.
