What is the difference between positive gram and negative gram?
The major difference between gram positive and the gram negative bacteria is the structure of their cell wall. The gram positive bacteria have two layers a plasma membrane and outer to it a peptidoglycan layer. But the gram negative bacteria have another layer other than the cell wall. While the gram negative bacteria has three layers. It has a plasma membrane that is called as the inner membrane, then a peptidoglycan layer and finally an outer membrane of phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides. There is space between the inner membrane and the peptidoglycan layer called as the periplasmic space. Peptidoclycan layer in the gram positive bacteria are much more thicker than that of the gram negative bacteria. The molecule teichoic acid is present in gram positive bacteria and the porin proteins are characteristically present in the gram negative bacteria. Gram positive bacteria usually produce exotoxins and the gram negative bacteria usually produces endotoxins. Gram positive bacteria gives Violet colour to the gram staining and the gram negative bacteria gives pink colour to the gram staining. In gram staining the bacteria is fixed on slides and then they are treated with Crystal Violet. After that they are treated with iodine and then they are decolourised. If the bacteria is gram negative then it shows Violet colour and if it is gram negative then it shows pink colour. Initially both strains show Violet colour after Crystal Violet treatment but on the treatment with iodine and decolourisation the gram negative bacteria loose colour and become pink. This is because in the gram positive bacteria the Violet crystals bind firmly to the peptidoglycan layer and the colour is not removed in later stages. In gram positive bacteria the colour does not penetrate much because of outer membrane and is lost much during decolourisation.
What is the importance of gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Typical gram-positive bacteria are those staphylococci that produce boils; typical gram-negative bacteria are the bacilli that cause whooping cough; typical gram-variable bacteria are the bacilli that cause tuberculosis.
Why gram negative bacteria more resistant to antibiotics?
Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane made of lipopolysaccharide and proteins, which the Gram-positive bacteria are lacking. More multi-drug resistance is being recognized in this class of bacteria than previously, and they are becoming a formidable foe in the environment because of the lack of new antibiotics to treat infections.
Does anabolism create a positive or negative nitrogen balance?
Anabolism creates positive nitrogen balance. That means sort of body building. Catabolism creates negative nitrogen balance. That means loss of proteins from your body.
What are proteins that recognize specific proteins on bacteria?
Simple the answer is an Antibody!
What is the difference between gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria?
Gram was a scientist who invented a technique called Gram staining by which bacteria can be colorized and divided into two groups.Gram positiveappearance: blue to transfer to purpleStructure: Have thick layer of peptidoglycan over inner cytoplasmic membrane.They lack LPS-lipopolysaccharides.Gram negativeappearance: pink to transfer to redStructure: In gram negative bacteria the peptidoglycan layer is thinner and is located between space of the outer and inner cytoplasmic membrane.The cell wall contains LPS, which make them virulent.

What is a nagtive protein and what is a positive protein?
During an incidence of inflammation, the body will respond with an acute-phase reaction. The acute -phase proteins whose plasma concentrates increase , positive proteins or decrease, negative proteins in response.
What do you call a substances that posses the same number of positive and negative charge?
zwitter ion eg. proteins

What is amox tr-k clv 875 MG?
it's amoxicillin 875mg and clauvulanic acid 125mg, aka Augmentin. the clauvulanic acid binds up bacterial penicillin binding proteins and allows the amoxicillin to work in most penicillin-resistant bacteria.
Does anabolism create a positive or negative nitrogen balance?
Anabolism creates positive nitrogen balance. That means sort of body building. Catabolism creates negative nitrogen balance. That means loss of proteins from your body.
Are negative ions more effective in salting out proteins than positive ones?
No. More negative ions are more effective than less negative ions for salting out. The same is the case with positive ions. Solubility decreases exponentially with increasing magnitude of charge.
Can mad cow disease by identified by a gram stain?
Mad Cow Disease cannot be identified by a gram stain. Mad Cow Disease is caused by prions, incorrectly folded proteins. Gram staining is a way to separate bacteria into two groups - positive and negative - and cannot be used to identify prions, since prions are not bacteria.
What are proteins that recognize specific proteins on bacteria?
Simple the answer is an Antibody!
What is the difference between positive strand and negative strand viruses?
A positive strand virus is immediately contagious. A negative strand virus has to create proteins to convert into a positive strand virus. it is not contagious until it becomes a positive strand.
