The effect on the bacteria depends if the stain is an acidic or basic stain. Most bacteria are stained when a basic stain permeates the cell wall and adheres by weak ionic bonds to the bacterial cell, which is slightly negatively charged.
around neutral pH the bacteria carry an overall negative charge in its surface. since the acid dyes have a chromophore ( color giving organic part of the stain) with a negative charge, it will not stain the bacteria.
The pH will determine if the bacteria will have a particular charge. A negative stain is a simple stain that stains the background but leaves the bacteria unstained.
Acidic stains have a negatively charged chromogen and are repelled by the negative charges on bacterial surfaces.
No because archaea lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls, which is what the gram stain method is based off of.
Acidic dyes are negatively-charged dyes. Since bacteria are also negatively-charged, they will repel the acidic dyes. So, instead of staining the bacterium itself, it will be the background that will be colorized....
The causes a stain adheres to bacterial cells is the color-bearing ions (chromophores) and they might be positively charged (cationic), such as methylene blue, basic fuchsin, and crystal violet, because bacteria are negatively charged and anionic chromophores, such as eosin, will not stain bacteria because of the electrostatic repelling forces that are involved.
Acidic Congo red is negatively charged, so it is repelled by the negatively charged cytoplasm, and gathers around the cell wall instead, leaving the cell clear and unstained.
Mitochondria is acidophilic because it has membrane proteins which have a net positive charge . Any structures are acidophilic if they stain with eosin, which is a negatively charged dye that stains pink to red.
Yes because Methylene Blue is a symple stain which allows the staining of Cocci. The only thing that is done with the stain is to show the morphology of the bacteria, so one could tell the shape, size, and, arrangement.
Cationic dyes are positively charged, bacteria must have negatively charged dyes on their surface to attract.
Acidic dyes are negatively-charged dyes. Since bacteria are also negatively-charged, they will repel the acidic dyes. So, instead of staining the bacterium itself, it will be the background that will be colorized....
Basic dyes have positively charged chromophore; thus, there target of binding affinity is the specimen or the microorganism which has a negatively charged cell wall. Through this, basic dyes can penetrate and making it an efficient stain for microorganisms.

Acidic Congo red is negatively charged, so it is repelled by the negatively charged cytoplasm, and gathers around the cell wall instead, leaving the cell clear and unstained.
basic dyes are more effective for bacterial staining than acidic dyes because basic dyes have a positive charged chromogen. Bacterial nucleic acids and certain cell wall components carry a negative charge that strongly binds to the cationic chromogen.
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.
Because Nigrosin is an acidic dye--carries a negative charge--and repels against the negatively charged cell walls of most bacteria.
because the outer membrane is phospholipid bi layer, which is positive charged one.
Mitochondria is acidophilic because it has membrane proteins which have a net positive charge . Any structures are acidophilic if they stain with eosin, which is a negatively charged dye that stains pink to red.
