How does malaria stain for gram and endospore and capsule and acid fast?
Gram staining protozoans yield variable results. Endospore, capsule, and AF stains will yield different results, as these stains are use on bacteria. Malaria is caused by a protozoan.
What is the Dorner endospore stain?
you
How does the malachite green stain enter an endospore?
It is heated.
Why is it necessary to perform endospore stain to identify clostridium difficile in health care settings?

What is the principal of flagellar staining?
flagella stain Purpose: To determine the presence/absence and location of flagella on various microorganisms Principle: Because bacterial flagella are very thin and fragile a special stain (flagella stain) is prepared that contains a mordant. This mordant allows piling of the stain on the flagella, increasing the thickness until they become visible. Various arrangements of flagella are seen on different cells.
What is the purpose of staining an unknown organism?
By doing differential stains on an unknown organism, you can learn more about that organism. One of the most helpful stains would be the Gram stain. The gram stain will differentiate from Gram positive and Gram negative cells, narrowing your bacteria down a lot. Other stains include: Acid-Fast stain, Capsule stain, Endospore stain, and PHB stain.
What dye is used to penetrate and stain an endospore?
Malachite green
What prevents the cell from appearing green in the finished endospore stain?
Vegetative cells readily decolorize because they are permeable.
Of what use is the endospore stain?
The use of endospore stain is to see specialized cell structures. It can tell if some bacterium cells contain higher resistant spores within vegetative cells.
What so endospore stain have in common with the acid-fast stain?
One thing that endospore stains have in common with the acid fast stain is that heat primary stain penetration. Another thing that endospore stains have in common with acid fast stains are counterstain.
Describe the microscopic appearance of encapsulated streptococcus if stained with safranin?
Safranin (red) is used in gram staining and endospore staining as the secondary stain. Nigrosin is used in negative staining, staining only the background and not the bacteria. Therefore, the bacteria within the capsule would stain red from the safranin. (Like in endospore staining and negative gram staining, safranin would stain the bacteria red.) Nigrosin would stain the background of the organism just as it would in negative staining. Bacteria (within capsul): stained safranin red Capsule (outer layer of bacteria): clear Background of organism: stained dark with Nigrosin
What is the protocol of leifson method in flagella staining?
Preperation of slides and Leifson flagella stain?
