Explain the function of Copper Sulfate in the spore staining procedure?
Alextoussaint
From what i read in my book:
Because the capsule is nonionic, unlike the bacterial cell, the primary stain adheres to the capsule without binding to it. Since the capsule is water- soulube, copper sulfate, rather than water, is used to wash the purple primary stain out of the capsular material without removing the stain that is bound to the cell wall.

Should you acid wash concrete before using iron sulfate to stain it?
Im doing my own tests to answer this question. I think the Iron Sulfate reacts with the excess lime in the cement and any acid wash before would liming the staining effect. But as in any stain, testing is vital to find what works for you and your kind of cement\concrete\stucco.
What is the function of copper sulfate in the capsule stain?
The copper sulfate is used as a decolorizing agent rather than water. The copper sulfate washes the purple primary stain out of the capsular material without removing the stain bound to the cell wall. At the same time, the decolorized capsule absorbs the copper sulfate, and the capsule will now appear white in contrast to the deep purple of the cell.
