What dye is used in a vital stain?
vital dye in microbiology
Assume you stain Bacillus by applying malachite green with heat and then counterstaining with safranin Through the microscope the green structures are?
The malachite green penetrates the endospores, the counterstain of safranin will stain the vegetative cells. Endospores - greenish-blue Vegetative Cells - Red/Pink
Is maneval's stain an acid stain?
it is a basic dye that will stain the cells. That makes it a positive stain.
Can malachite green be used in the gram stain?

What type of dye is used to stain the specimen when the acid-fast stain and the gram stain are used?
Both processes use 2 stains. The Gram staining process uses crystal violet as the primary stain and safranin as the secondary stain. Acid-fast staining uses carbol fuchsin as the primary and methylene blue as the secondary.
Are endospores acid fast?
No, endospores are not acid fast because they are not cells. Endospores will stain with the acid fast stain and look fuchsia but they are not positive for acid fast.
