What happens if not enough alcohol is applied to a gram stain?

Both bacteria types would be stained by the safranin. When the iodine is added, safranin would be "set" in the positive. The decolorizer would wash out the safranin and then application of the crystal violet would stain the negative.


In spore staining what would happen it you used safarin as the primary stain and malachite green as the counterstain?

The spore would appear to be red as the safranin is heat driven into the many layers of the spore, however, as Malachite green has a weak affinity and is water soluble, it will not likely bind to the spore wall or the cell wall. You might have traces of green on the slide if any, but it will be very little. Your vegetative cells will be pink as well.

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

Methylene blue is a stain used in microbiology. The dye attaches to the object, which allows what would normally be fairly see-through to be visible to the microscope.
