There have been a few people named Gram or Graham involved in murder cases. Figuring out which Gram or Graham you're discussing will be crucial in terms of finding out the details of the case, as murder cases vary greatly.

29 pounds * * * * * No. A gram = 0.001 kilograms. And, if you happen to be someone who still works with Imperial measures, 1 gram = 0.0353 ounces = 0.002205 pounds - nowhere near 29!
During a gram stain, over destaining can happen easily. The result will be that both gram positive and gram negative cells will have a pink or red color only. Starting the process over will fix the issue.
Yes, penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) are found in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. PBPs are enzymes involved in cell wall biosynthesis and are the target of beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillin.

They would be purple.
Gram neg cells would remain clear
Lipoxygenase is an enzyme that can be obtained from red gram (also known as pigeon pea). It is involved in the synthesis of lipid hydroperoxides from polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The cell wall of a bacterial cell is the most involved in the Gram stain because it determines whether the bacteria will appear purple (Gram-positive) or pink (Gram-negative) after staining. The composition of the cell wall, specifically the presence of peptidoglycan, influences how the stain interacts with the bacteria.

Describe the Gram stain technique and the effect on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria after each step. Be very specific about what is happening at each step and why it happens. (hint: be sure to fully explain your answer and not just list the steps)
Using Congo red instead of safranin in the Gram stain technique would not provide accurate results. Safranin is essential for counterstaining gram-negative bacteria, whereas Congo red would not differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative cells due to its staining properties. This would lead to incorrect classification of bacteria in the Gram stain.
