It tells the microbiologist/clinician facts about the cell wall construction of the bacterium. This then indicates which antibiotics to prescribe if you are trying to get rid of a bacterial infection.
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.
used to hold the glass glides while staining them. (:
There are several uses for a staining jar. In microscopy, it is used for staining tissues and cells for slides. After being stained with dyes or stains, the specimens can also be placed in the jar to look for certain aspects.
I believe what you're looking for is the stain that can differentiate between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria: two types of eubacteria. So the staining method is called the Gram method. Crystal violet will remain trapped in Gram-positive bacteria due to their thicker cell walls, causing them to stain purple. Crystal violet can be washed out of Gram-negative cell walls after alcohol treatment to remove their outer lipid membrane, and the cells can be counterstained with a red, positively charged stain. In the end, Gram-positive bacteria will look purple, and Gram-negative bacteria will look red. See Wikipedia for more details.
No. It is a staining on the cell itself.
Differential staining is the procedure that are used to distinguish organism based on their staining properties. Use of gram stain divide bacteria into two classes - gram positive which retain crystal violet stain purple colour, gram negative which lose their crystal violet and give pink colour. By this method we can differentiate two different types of bacteria having different cell wall composition that is the reason gram staining used widely as differential staining

as a couterstain
gram positive
Gram Positive Rods
yes it is a special staining like other types....its importance is that one can identify the type of bacteria........
A basic dye used in gram staining is crystal violet.
no, it's eukaryotic. Gram staining is for bacteria.
This is known as a gram test.
yes
