Why to gram stain bacteria?
gram staining is a biochemical method of identifying bacteria in a more specific way.Thus it is important to differentiate gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
What is the stainning method called that can distinguish between two different types of eurobacteria?
I believe what you're looking for is the stain that can differentiate between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria: two types of eubacteria. So the staining method is called the Gram method. Crystal violet will remain trapped in Gram-positive bacteria due to their thicker cell walls, causing them to stain purple. Crystal violet can be washed out of Gram-negative cell walls after alcohol treatment to remove their outer lipid membrane, and the cells can be counterstained with a red, positively charged stain. In the end, Gram-positive bacteria will look purple, and Gram-negative bacteria will look red. See Wikipedia for more details.
Crystal violet in the MacConkey agar?
MacConkey's agar refers to a culture medium that is designed to selectively grow Gram-negative bacteria. It contains crystal violet dye, which inhibits certain Gram-positive bacteria.
Why is gram staining important?
It tells the microbiologist/clinician facts about the cell wall construction of the bacterium. This then indicates which antibiotics to prescribe if you are trying to get rid of a bacterial infection.
What is macconkey agar made out of?
Macconkey agar consists of agar, lactose, peptone, neutral red dye, crystal violet dye & bile salts. Bile salts inhibit growth of Gram positive bacteria & allow growth of Gram negative bacteria only. It differentiates lactose fermentating Gram negative bacteria from non lactose fermentating Gram negative bacteria.

Is Staphylococcus saprophyticus gram positive or negative?

Is S epidermidis gram negative or gram positive?
gram positive..
Is MRSA gram positive or gram negative?
gram positive
Is nostoc gram positive?
Gram positive
Is lactobacillus casei is a gram negative bacteria or gram positive?
The Bacteria Sarcina lutea is Gram Positive Because If You Perform the Gram Test It Will Turn The Violet Color Which indicates It's Positiveness. What Makes It Positive Is the Peptidoglycan Located Within The The Bacterium
Is Bacillus Cereus gram positive or negative?
It's a gram positive rod
