The negative staining techniques uses a dye solution in which the chromogen is acidic and carries a negative charge. (An acidic chromogen gives up a hydrogen ion, which leaves it with a negative charge.) The negative charge on the bacterial surface repels the negatively charged chromogen, so the the cell remains unstained against a colored background.
It is a staining technique that uses a dye to stain the background but not the cell. and are used to demonstrate bacterial capsule.
A black ink such as nigrosin is usually used for negative staining.
They stain the background, leaving the cells colorless.
be careful in the lab
Nigrosin is used.
Yes, uranyl acetate is used as a negative stain in electron microscopy.

Gram- negative bacteria turns red to pink after the gram stain is performed.

Gram positive bacterial stain purple. They do not take up the counter stain.
Gram Negative
Yes, uranyl acetate is used as a negative stain in electron microscopy.

The answer to whether HIV gram-stain positive or negative is that HIV gram-stain is negative. They retain the light red or pink color after the stain.
Negative stain
Because the cell wall repels the binding of the negative stain therefore the cells do not stain. Because of this the background is stain with the dye used and the bacteria remain colorless. Basically your staining the background, that is, you are not directly staining the cells.
since you do not heat fix the slide when you use a negative stain the cells do not shrink or become distorted
A negative result for the spores stain indicate that the gram-negative organism is present. A positive result for a spore stain indicates that a gram positive organism is present.
