no, it's eukaryotic. Gram staining is for bacteria.
Bacteria stain either gram-positive or gram-negative based on the presence or absence of a cell wall. Viruses do not pick up a gram stain.
Gram-positive bacteria which take up the stain turn purple, while Gram-negative bacteria which do not take up the stain turn red.
Bacteria stain either gram-positive or gram-negative based on the presence or absence of a cell wall. Viruses do not pick up a gram stain.
Gram positive bacterial stain purple. They do not take up the counter stain.
Gram positive bacteria stain purple with the Gram stain. This is because of the fact that they contain a thick layer of murein in their cell wall, which takes up the stain very well. Gram negative bacteria, however, do not display the thick layer of peptidoglycan on their outer surface. Therefore, they stain red with the counter stain.
If the Gram Stain is completed properly, gram positive should stain purple; however, if you over decolorize a gram positive organism, the organism will appear appear pink, which is a gram negative reaction. To summarize, if you over decolorize a gram positive organism it will show as a gram negative organism.
Most likely nothing. The gram stain will only stain the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. Most viruses have a protein coat called a capsid. The capsid will not take up either the crystal violet or the safranin of a Gram stain.
Gram stain is used to determine whether the cell is gram positive or negative. Gram positive is when the cell has very thick layers of peptidoglycan, and gram negative when the layers are thin. In the staining process, those that decolorize easily are gram negative, and the one that retain the primary stain are gram positive. The acid fast staining is a techique that stains only the gram positive and only the genuses of mycobacterium, nocardia, and actinomycetes.
Viruses cannot pick up gram staining because it does not have the cell wall of a bacteria.
Gram-staining does not stain the endospore due to the tough, resistant water-proof structure. It appears as an unstained area in a vegetative cell. Malachite green must be forced into the endospore with heat to stain it.
In a gram positive stain it is because the cell's cell wall is made up of peptioglycan
when stained with Gram stain Borrelia take up the counter stain which is carbol fuchsin or safranin and they appear as Gram negative spiral rods in gram film. In order to stain them the time required for staining them is little bit more as compared to normal gram staining. The initial steps are the same but once you apply the counter stain leave it for a while may be 5-10 mins depending upon the strength of counter stain. After washing the slide and drying once can see them on oil immersion lense.
