Differential Staining

Lab report: Differential staining Name University Date Lab report: Differential staining Abstract The prime focal point of a differential staining lab experiment is on simple stains and microscopy. Differential staining relies on the bacterial cell wall structure in order to differentiate the Gram negative from the Gram positive. The latter has thick peptidoglycan stratum in the wall that has the ability to hold on to crystal violet stains following acetone or ethanol exposure or both at the same time. In this lab experiment, the used microscopy is slide preparation, magnification, and staining. Staining agent such as Methylene blue is often used to stain the slide for ease of ob...
