Yes, a bacterium's gram reaction is often related to its shape. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer that retains the crystal violet dye used in the Gram staining procedure, while gram-negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane that does not retain the dye. The shape of the bacterium can influence how well the dye penetrates and stains the cell wall, affecting the outcome of the Gram reaction.

no


Do enzymes change shape after a reaction occurs?

While the structure of an enzyme can, and often does, change over the course of a reaction, after a reaction has completed, enzymes are returned to their starting state. It is worth noting that certain cofactors (such as ATP or GTP) may also need to be replaced in order for the reaction to procede again.
