Retain crystal violet dye and stain blue or purple. Can be decolorized to accept counterstain safranin and stain pink or red 2 Cell Wall Cell Wall is nm thick. Cell Wall is nm thick. The wall is wavy. Why not in gram -ve? What is the reason that inhibition by basic dyes, susceptibility to anionic detergents and resistance to sodium azide is low in gram negative while high in gram positive bacteria?
Why are Gram-positive has 2 rings in basal body and Gram-negative 4 rings in basal body? Thank you. I Would like to know the fundamental characters that differentiates these two. All you have mentioned are the secondary one,i guess. Always consult with your primary care physician or naturopathic doctor before making any significant changes to your health and wellness routine.

Medical Terminology: Gram-Positive vs. Gram-Negative Bacteria Health and wellness professionals who understand the difference between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are better equipped to interpret and utilize high-quality essential oil and herbal medicine research.
What do natural health professionals need to know about Gram-positive bacteria? Food for Thought Have you ever wondered about bacterial evolution and why certain antibiotics, which were once effective, suddenly become impotent and powerless?

Tilt the slide slightly and gently rinse with tap water or distilled water. Crystal violet is a water-soluble dye which enters the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall.
The smear will now appear purple. Gram's iodine solution iodine and potassium iodide is added to form a complex with the crystal violet, which is much larger and is insoluble in water. Tilt the slide slightly and apply the alcohol drop by drop until the alcohol runs almost clear seconds. Immediately rinse with water to avoid over-decolorizing. Decolorizer dehydrates the peptidoglycan layer, shrinking and tightening it.
In Gram positive bacteria, the large crystal violet-iodine complexes are then unable to penetrate and escape the thick peptidoglycan layer, resulting in purple stained cells.
However, in Gram negative bacteria, the outer membrane is degraded, the thin peptidoglycan layer is unable to retain the crystal violet-iodine complexes and the color is lost. Gently flood with safranin counterstain and leave for 45 seconds. Safranin is weakly water soluble and will stain bacterial cells a light red, enabling visualization of Gram negative cells without interfering with the observation of the purple of the Gram positive cells.
Blot the slide dry on filter paper then view the smear using a light-microscope under oil-immersion.
