While they are both dark purple in appearance one of the major differences are microscopic size. Yeast is the larger. Gram positive coccus can create skin infections and toxic shock syndrome. The yeast cells are rapid mutation in comparison.
this is because it has got a thick cell wall therefore it can resist decolonization
Neither. cerevisiae is a yeast, which means that it is a fungi. Gram staining only works on the bacterias.
Simple stain
The gram stain uses a decolorizing product so it is possible to differentiate between the gram and the gram cells. Gram positive cells stain purple in color.
Gram stain
There are two types of stains, the simple stain and the differential stain. A simple stain colors all objects the same while a differential stain is used to spot differences in microorganisms. A gram stain is a differential stain, which is used to tell the difference in gram negative and gram positive bacteria. A simple stain would stain all the organisms the same and this difference would not be noted. You would be able to determine their shape, whether it is a cocci or bacillus (rod), but not the type. I'm not sure why the simple stain would be preferable unless you just wanted a quick answer as to the shape of the bacteria. In some cases, a wet prep can be made of a presumptive gram positive cocci to tell the difference between bacteria or yeast. Otherwise, I would say that the gram stain is the only way to go.
Hans Christian Gram invented this stain in 1884
Gram negative
A gram stain is a cow
The gram stain uses a decolorizing product so it is possible to differentiate between the gram and the gram cells. Gram positive cells stain purple in color.
Doubtful, as yeast are fungi with walls of chitin, while bacteria have walls of peptidoglycan.
Gram stain
Gram Negative
Protists are often stained using a silver stain, not a Gram stain.
The Gram stain is used for bacteria and not for viruses.

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.
