Biology 11 Microbiology Gram staining

What is Gram Staining? Basic classification of bacteria that is based on the cell wall structure. There are 2 main groups: Gram positive and Gram negative. Gram staining is a staining technique that provides an easy differentiation of bacteria into one of two groups. The staining technique, developed in the late 1700’s by Christian Gram classifies microorganisms into two groups based on the structure of their cell walls.

How is this possible? The component of the cell wall which makes Gram staining possible is peptidoglycan. Gram Negative Cell Walls -Have a thick cell wall with a thin layer of peptidoglycan Gram Positive Cell Walls - Have a thin cell wall with a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Cell Walls

Why do we Gram Stain? To differentiate between different types of bacteria based on their cell wall structure. Helps with identification NOTE: Other ways to identify bacteria What they eat Shape Size Colony Formation (colour, shape etc...) Waste Products

The process includes the use of: a primary stain (crystal violet) (30sec) a mordant (helper) iodine solution, (60sec) a decolorizer (95% ethanol), a counterstain (safranin). (30sec) PROCESS?

Upon Completion Gram Positive cells appear purple Gram Negative cells appear reddish pink
