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

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

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. One thing

D4 H and E staining procedures Haematoxylin and eosin staining is a technique used by pathologists to add definition to nuclei and other parts of a cell in tissue samples under a microscope so that they can see it better when analysing the cells form and abnormalities. The H&E technique is the most commonly used in histology and the diagnoses of malignancies is based largely on the results of this procedure. The dyes will specifically stain elements of a cell or tissue because the dyes have a high

It is also customary to write in the past tense for most of the report. This includes the introduction‚ the summary‚ the description of the materials and methods and the results. The present tense is reserved for the conclusions about the results. See the examples given below. Some other general rules

Stainin g What is Cellular Staining? Cell staining is a technique that can be used to better visualize cells and cell components under a microscope. By using different stains‚ one can preferentially stain certain cell components‚ such as a nucleus or a cell wall‚ or the entire cell. Most stains can be used on fixed‚ or non-living cells‚ while only some can be used on living cells; some stains can be used on either living is or non-living What Cellularcells. Staining?

Introduction The Gram stain is one of the most useful staining procedures in microbiology . It is one of three differential staining techniques‚ is used to identify divide bacteria into two groups: Gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative (Madigan‚ Martinko‚ Dunlap‚ Clark (2009). These staining reactions take advantage of the fact that cells or structures within cells display dissimilar staining reactions that can be distinguished by the use of different dyes (Brown 2009).

had events occurred differently‚ the whole direction of the war‚ and the result‚ might have differed. It is my opinion that the Battle of the Somme is the most crucial turning point of WW1. This might seem like a strange choice‚ given that this battle‚ above all‚ seems to represent the disastrous stalemate that locked the western front for most of the war. However in this essay I will argue that the Battle of the Somme achieved its central purpose‚ and began the inevitable decline and eventual defeat
