two antibiotics that affect Gram-negative bacteria?

Pre-Lab Questions 1. What determines if a bacterial cell is Gram-positive or Gram-negative? (5 points) Amount and location of the peptidoglycan molecule in the prokaryotic cell wall determines whether a bacterial cell is Gram-positive or Gram-negative.   2. In this lab, both viruses and prions were introduced as acellular organisms. Do some research and describe […]

NEGATIVE STAINING

NEGATIVE STAINING Negative staining provides a more detailed assessment of a microbe’s morphology and helps prevent any distortion of the mi- crobe’s ultrastructure by the staining procedure. It also makes the outline of the cells highly visible. Nigrosin and bacterial cells are negatively charged. Therefore, negative staining works because like charges repel each other, preventing
