Introduction Gram staining was developed by Christian Gram in the 1800’s‚ a Danish bacteriologist. (Smith and Hussey‚ 2005) It was the first differential staining technique and most common used in microbiology. Furthermore‚ bacteria are transparent and cannot be seen through the microscope. For that reason‚ Gram staining is an important tool for distinguishing between two main types of bacteria Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The Gram stain differentiates the Gram positive and gram-negative on the

difference between a gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria is the differences in cell wall composition. Prokaryotes known as eubacteria have three basic forms: rods‚ cocci and spiral. The bacterial cell wall is the single most important contributor to cell shape. In addition to shape of cell wall‚ presence or absence of flagellum‚ and if present‚ positions of flagellum‚ the eubacteria can be classified according to Gram Stain. First and foremost‚ gram positive bacteria are

lab we first need to know what gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are and what it’s composed of. Gram-positive bacteria take up the class of bacteria that stain crystal violet in the method of bacterial differentiation. Where gram-negative bacteria are a class of bacteria that does not retain crystal violet. Instead they are counter-stained pink by Safranin‚ and because of this‚ identifying positive is possible. One of the many differences between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria is their

Gram Staining Lab Introduction Gram staining is a very important technique used in biology labs all over the world. It is a technique used to differentiate types of bacteria using certain physical and chemical characteristics of their cell walls. Gram positive bacteria (which show up purple after the gram staining process) have a very thick layer of peptidoglycan where gram negative bacteria (which show up pink after the gram staining process) have a much thinner layer of peptidoglycan.

Gram Staining Introduction Prokaryotes are a large group of organisms with no membrane bound organelles. They consist of two domains: Archaea and Bacteria. These organisms are only found in extreme environments such as volcanoes. Prokaryotes are still being researched and are a very diverse group. In this lab we focused on trying to identify if the bacteria found had a lot of peptidoglycan by gram staining. Testing this could be done by using a Petri dish full of agar and testing different bacteria

Earlier‚ business computers were mostly used for relatively simple operations such as tracking sales or payroll data‚ often without much detail. Over time‚ these applications became more complex and began to store increasing amount of information while also interlinking with previously separate information systems.
