(The following procedure is used for all of our (The following procedure is used for all of our staining)staining)

1. Flame (sterilize) 1. Flame (sterilize) your inoculating your inoculating loop/needle before loop/needle before andand after use. Heat after use. Heat from base to tip. Be from base to tip. Be sure to get the sure to get the entire wire red hot.entire wire red hot.

Make sure that you

are collecting your hair

Page 9: 416PHT Lab#2 Gram’s stain Acid fast stain Spore stain.

2. Prepare the smear

a. With solid culture (agar colony), place a small

drop of distilled water on a clean slide. Drag the sterile inoculating needle tip through the edge of an isolated colony. Gently spread the mixture into a circle the size of a quarter.

b. With liquid culture(A loop of liquid culture can be

placed directly on the slide and spread out.)

3. Let the smear air dry completely. Do not apply heat while drying because this can lyse the cells

“One of the most common mistakes is to decolorize a smear for too long a time period. Even Gram-positive cells can lose the crystal violet-iodine complex during prolonged decolorization.

Gram-positive bacteria• Have a thick peptidoglycan layer surrounds the

cell. • The stain gets trapped into this layer and the

bacteria turned purple.• Retain the color of the primary stain (crystal

violet) after decolorization with alcohol

Gram-negative bacteria • have a thin peptidoglycan layer that does not

retain crystal violet stain.• Instead, it has a thick lipid layer which dissolved

easily upon decoulorization with Acetone-Alcohol.

• Therefore, cells will be counterstained with safranin and turned red.
