Gram- negative bacteria turns red to pink after the gram stain is performed.
it can be gram negative or gram positive; which the color would be pink or purple.
Post ID Special:Contributionssaid: "blue-violet.....because it is a gram-negative bacteria"Wrong...the color is correct, but S. aureus is gram-POSITIVE.
The color of a gram-negative stain is pink or red. This staining technique is used to differentiate bacteria based on their cell wall composition, with gram-negative bacteria retaining the pink/red color after staining.
gram staining differentiates between gram negative and gram positive bacteria by showing different colors. it shows blue or purple like color for gram positive bacteria and red color for gram negative bacteria. where as simple stain gives the same color to all the types of bacteria. hence it is difficult to differentiate between them.
Yes, the results agreed with the gram stain information in the textbook. The gram stain showed purple color for Gram-positive bacteria and pink color for Gram-negative bacteria, confirming their respective characteristics.
it can be gram negative or gram positive; which the color would be pink or purple.
Gram positive bacteria appear purple or blue when stained with the Gram stain, while gram negative bacteria appear pink or red. This color difference is due to the thickness of the cell wall and the presence of an outer membrane in gram negative bacteria.

Crystal violet is the primary stain in the Gram's stain procedure, used to color all bacteria cells purple. This helps differentiate between Gram-positive bacteria (which retain the violet color) and Gram-negative bacteria (which lose the violet color when decolorized with alcohol).
Gram-positive does not refer to a positive charge, but to the purple color of the stain. Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the purple dye and are instead red in color.
