Nigrosin is a dye made of synthetic ingredients. it is a negative stain, which is what is required to be able to stain staphylococcus.
Yes, staphylococcus cells can be stained by nigrosin. This is because nigrosin is a black dye mixture usually found in varnishes and lacquers.
Nigrosin is a mixture that is composed of synthetic black dyes. A staphylococcus cannot be stained using nigrosin because this bacterium carry a negative charge that repels nigrosin.
yes, it does. I've stained it in class before
The stain would stain the cells rather than the background
Yes. Eosin and acid fuchsin are also acidic dyes like nigrosin.
Would be gram-positive because of the cell wall of the Staphylococci.
I like trains, more like
The cell morphology of Staphylococcus aureus is spherical in appearance. Spherical bacterium are known as coccus and appear as tetrads (4) or more in groups. They stain Gram +.

For the capsule stain Congo red or a Nigrosin solution can be used. Next, Maneval's stain is used.
A negative stain will stain the background with an acidic dye, such as Nigrosin. This procedure is used to demonstrate capsules. This technique brings the specimen off of the background for more adequate viewing purposes.
The stain would stain the cells rather than the background
Because negative staining requires the use of an acidic stain, which will not penetrate the cells because of the negative charge on the surface of the bacteria. As a result, the unstained cells can be easily identified against the colored background.
Safranin (red) is used in gram staining and endospore staining as the secondary stain. Nigrosin is used in negative staining, staining only the background and not the bacteria. Therefore, the bacteria within the capsule would stain red from the safranin. (Like in endospore staining and negative gram staining, safranin would stain the bacteria red.) Nigrosin would stain the background of the organism just as it would in negative staining. Bacteria (within capsul): stained safranin red Capsule (outer layer of bacteria): clear Background of organism: stained dark with Nigrosin
The specimen is taken from TB lesion
to stain.
Stain
Because Nigrosin is an acidic dye--carries a negative charge--and repels against the negatively charged cell walls of most bacteria.
The specimen will?ænot absorb adequate stain, resulting in little contrast. Thus making it difficult for identification of?ædifferent components of the specimen.
