Assume you stain Bacillus by applying malachite green with heat and then counterstaining with safranin Through the microscope the green structures are?

Bacillus cells stained with malachite green and safranin will appear red under the microscope due to the counterstaining with safranin. Malachite green primarily stains the spores of Bacillus while safranin stains the rest of the cell, resulting in red-stained vegetative cells and green-stained spores.

Why is it essential to apply heat during endospore staining?

Applying heat during endospore staining helps in the penetration of the primary stain, usually malachite green, into the endospore wall. Heat acts as a mordant that allows the stain to bind more effectively to the endospore, enhancing its visibility under the microscope. This technique improves the contrast between the endospore and the rest of the cell, aiding in their identification and study.
