The Firmicutes (Latin: firmus strong and cutis skin referring to the cell wall) are a phylum of bacteria most of which have Gram-positive cell wall structure. A few however such as Megasphaera Pectinatus Selenomonas and Zymophilus have a porous pseudo-outer-membrane that causes them to stain Gram-negative.
