Clostridium tetani look very clean, large, and dark colored on a gram stain. They look like this because of the way the light from the sun hits them when on a gram stain.

What is the gram stain of botulism?
Botulism is caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinumand all Clostridia species are Gram positive, so the organisms causing botulism would give a Gram positive result :)
What is the difference between bacillus and clostridium?
Bacillus and Clostridium are both Gram positive, spore forming, bacilli (rods).Bacillus sp. are aerobic.Clostridium sp. are anaerobic.After performing a catalase activity test, Clostridium will be negative and Bacillus will be positive for catalase activity.
What microorganism causes botulism?
Clostridium botulinum. It is a gram-positive rod, obligate anaerobe, and spore-forming.
What is Clostridium perfringes?

What is the meaning of the term 'clostridium difficile'?
The term 'clostridium difficile' is the name for a strand of Gram-positive bacteria. This type of bacteria is well known for causing bad cases of diarrhea.
Can serratia marcescens produce endospores?
no. in general, only gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium produce endospores.
Is tetanus a Gram positive bacteria?
Yes, with a minor correction. Tetanus is a disease, not a type of bacteria; so technically you can't say that tetanus is Gram positive, since the term "Gram positive" can only be applied to bacteria.So to be correct, you'd say that the species of bacteria that causes tetanus, Clostridium tetani, is Gram positive.
What two gram positive groups make endospores?
Bacillus species, Clostridium species, and Sporosarcina species all have endospores.
