Gram-positive bacterium are those that are stained dark blue or violet by Gram Staining. This is in contrast to Gram-Negative Bacterium, which cannot retain the crystal violet stain, instead taking up the counter-stain and appearing red or pink. Gram-positive organisms are able to retain the crystal violet stain because of the high amount of peptidoglycan in the cell wall. Gram-positive cell walls typically lack the outer membrane found in Gram-negative bacteria.

Is plasmodium gram negative?
Plasmodium is not a bacteria to be classified whether gram negative or gram positive. It is a genus of parasitic protists. Infection by these organisms is known as malaria.
Micrococcus luteus gram positive or gram negative?
Gram Positive.
Is bacillius subtilis gram positive or gram negative?
Gram positive
Can you elimintate gram positive bacteria from a gram positive gram negative mixture with mild detergent treatment?
AnswerYou can use a "selective" medium that will inhibit the growth of Gram positive bacteria and only allow Gram negative bacteria to multiply. A medium which is commonly used for this is the McConkey agar which contains a crystal violet strain and allows only Gram negative cultures to grow.You can also eliminate Gram positive bacteria with antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin) provided that they are sensitive and not resistant.
Candida albicans gram positive or gram negative?
Candida albicans is a yeast and belongs to the fungal kingdom, so it does not have a gram classification like bacteria. Gram staining is a technique used to differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria based on the composition of their cell walls.
