the cell wall contains mycolic acid. a dye (carbol fuchsin) is applied to the culture, then washed with acid-alcohol. those cells with mycolic acid in their cell wall will retain the dye even after the alcohol rinse. but those cells without mycolic acid will release the dye.
glycolic acid

The answer is mycolic acid.
Who ever answered glycolic acid please give me your source?
Mycolic acid
One chemical agent that is fairly effective against endospores and mycobacteria is hydrogen peroxide. It is a powerful oxidizing agent that can disrupt the cell walls and membranes of these microorganisms, leading to their inactivation. Other chemical agents such as chlorine dioxide and peracetic acid can also be effective against endospores and mycobacteria.
This is a chemical reaction (dito change).

Reactivity is a chemical property (in chemistry !).No, it is a chemical property. Reactivity is always a chemical property, because when a substance reacts with another, you will get a chemical change and some new form of matter. Baking soda, for instance, will react chemically with vinegar to produce new forms of matter; namely water, carbon dioxide, and sodium acetate.
If a new substance has been produced it must be a chemical change.
