Microscopy and Staining Abstract The primary focus of this lab was on microscopy and simple stains. Microscopy that was used were magnification‚ slide preparation‚ and staining. Methylene blue‚ a simple staining component‚ was used to stain the slide in order to see the different microbes and determine their cellular shape. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to become familiar with the light microscope and how to accurately use it to view specimens. The staining method was used

1. Describe the major differences between gram positive and gram negative bacteria cell walls. The gram negative bacteria cell wall is a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer cell membrane with a lipopolysaccharide layer. The gram positive bacteria cell wall is a single thick peptidoglycan layer. This wall forms in a mesh like formation of three layers of alternating material. 2. From the procedure that you have carried out‚do you feel that the Gram positive stain is a simple procedure? No‚

techniques. Here they are; Simple staining: Only one type of dye used for simple staining and it stains all cells the same color. Creating contrast between cell and background to observe cell morphology is aimed. Differential staining: A differential stain uses more than one dye and stains different kinds of organism with different colors. Positive staining: If cell itself is stained it is called positive staining. It sticks with specimen and gives its color. Negative staining: If background is stained

culture‚ I immediately made a streak plate and started the Gram Stain protocol1. In the first two slides‚ I made and stained‚ my results were ambiguous. Without putting the slide into the microscope‚ I noticed one was pink and the other purple. To resolve it‚ I discarded my slides and started again and was extremely careful in proceeding the Gram Stain. I concluded that my unknown A was gram-negative bacilli. Using the dichotomous key for gram-negative bacilli I started the protocol for the lactose

Bio Lab Report Title: Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive contamination in yogurt. Introduction: There is bacteria that is beneficial and harmful in the human. Yogurt was choosed to be the best example that contains this bacteria. What happens to be the difference between these two types of bacteria‚ and how are they harmful? The bacteria is considered “Gram-Negative‚” and the substance is considered contaminated when there is more negative bacteria than positive bacteria. This will prove or disapprove

(2005) defined staining as the method of artificially producing color in microorganisms to allow for the visualization under the microscope. He further stated that stains are used not only to make the organisms visible but also to understand their structure and chemical nature. Gram staining is a technique commonly used in the laboratory. It is used to differentiate two large groups of bacteria based on their different cell wall constituents. It distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups

bacteria? Gram Stain This separation is based on differences in what physical trait? The structure of the cell walls. What is the iodine used for in this staining technique? Crystal violet is first used to stain the sample and iodine is used to affix it. Why is it important to heat fix the bacteria prior to the staining procedure? This procedure is done to kill any bacteria that may be on the slide already and this will insure a clean slide. If you had a bacteria sample that you knew to be gram positive
