The Gram staining method is named after the Danish bacteriologist who originally developed it in 1882‚ Hans Christian Gram. The Gram staining process is one of the most important staining techniques in microbiology. It is almost always the first test performed for the identification of bacteria. The primary stain of the Gram’s method is either crystal violet or methylene blue‚ each almost equally effective. The microorganisms that retain the crystal violet and iodine mixture appear purplish brown

GRAM STAINING EXPERIMENT CONDUCTED ON 9/29/2013 Introduction: The Gram stain is a useful stain for identifying and classifying bacteria. The Gram stain is a differential stain that allows you to classify bacteria as either gram positive or gram negative. This gram stain technique was discovered by Hans Christina Gram in 1884. The gram stain procedure separates all bacteria into one of two groups - into gram-negative bacteria which do not stain purple and into gram-positive

Differential Staining Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to become familiar with subtypes of culture media and the uses for each‚ learn and employ the streak and pour dish techniques‚ and generate a pure culture of a specific organism. Set Up: For this experiment I needed: 1 Distilled water‚ 1 Paper towels‚ 1 10%-bleach or 70% alcohol solution‚ 1 Zip bag‚ 1 Pan to heat agar‚ 1 Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)‚ 1 Cultures: S. epidermidis and L. acidophilus‚ 1 Gloves‚ Disposable

Gram staining From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia A Gram stain of mixed Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923‚ Gram-positive cocci‚ in purple) andEscherichia coli (Escherichia coli ATCC 11775‚ Gram-negative bacilli‚ in red)‚ the most common Gram stain reference bacteria Gram staining (or Gram’s method) is a method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). The name comes from its inventor‚ Hans Christian Gram. Gram staining

Gram Staining Gram Staining is a method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). Gram Staining is a way to separate one large group of bacteria into two. Crystal violet is used to dye the cells‚ which is the primary stain. Those that retain the color are grouped as Gram-positive‚ and those that do not retain the color are grouped as Gram-negative. Many of the Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic‚ making this process useful for detecting infections

Identification of Unknown # 15 Abstract. One of the most fundamental differential staining techniques used in the study of bacteriology is gram staining. There are two main types of bacteria‚ gram negative and gram-positive. The purpose of this experiment was to perform a variety of tests to identify the bacteria contained in the unknown sample labeled number 15. The following are the tests that were used to identify the two different bacteria. The

and therefore necessary during cellular proliferation. The protein can be found in all phases of the cell cycle but not in resting cells. The Ki67 staining is used to determine growth of certain cell types and is therefore used on hyperproliferative cells such as tumor cells‚ but also in benign hyperproliferative diseases such as psoriasis. The staining reveals the proliferative active keratinocytes which can be found in stratum basale. Sept7-deficient mice receiving IMQ treatment (Fig S6. A) had

Title: preparation of films for staining Objective: to produce a thin smear of bacteria adhering to a clean microscope slide as preparatory to staining. Procedure: A. From broth cultures 1. Inoculating loop was sterilized using Bunsen burner and let to be cool before use it to obtain bacterial suspension from the tube. 2. The bacterial then placed in the center of the clean microscope slide. It also speared to produce thin films. 3. The films are set to air dry before wafting the slide gently

Title: Staining Introduction: Microorganisms are small and colorless‚ invisible to unaided eyes. When observing them under microscopes‚ we use various methods to make microbes apparent. One of the most important methods is staining. Staining techniques play an essential role in the studying of microorganisms; they help to reveal characteristics of microbes‚ such as their morphologies‚ sizes‚ arrangements‚ chemical components and many more. The purposes of the experiments are to be
