Protists are often stained using a silver stain, not a Gram stain.
Yes, it is. Using the Gram staining method, the wall can be seen.
The point of the gram stain is to differentiate between two things, with out both positive and negative gram cells there would be nothing to differentiate between, defeating the purpose of the process.
Mordant is the reagent used in the gram stain method. By using this type of reagent bacteria are more easily seen. It is important to a doctor to know what kind of bacteria is present so that he knows what to prescribe to a patient to get rid of the bacteria.

gram staining is a biochemical method of identifying bacteria in a more specific way.Thus it is important to differentiate gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

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.
A negative result for the spores stain indicate that the gram-negative organism is present. A positive result for a spore stain indicates that a gram positive organism is present.

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.
Hans Christian Gram invented this stain in 1884
